Frank DeVita: From Brooklyn to Omaha
Frank DeVita served in World War II on USS Samuel Chase (AP-24) and was involved in the storming of Omaha Beach and later the Pacific Theater in Japan.
Frank DeVita was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, during the Great Depression. As early as 1941, 16-year-old DeVita was anxious to join the Armed Forces following the attack Pearl Harbor. Taking the advice of his mother, DeVita waited until he graduated high school before he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard at the age of 18. DeVita chose the Coast Guard while his brothers joined the Marines and Army because it was the branch that would send him out to defend his country the fastest.
