My father, Capt. Dennette Arthur Harrod, Sr., US Army Ret., was an officer in the 366th Infantry Regiment during World War II. These were the Buffalo Soldiers (92nd DIV) of the Italian Campaign. They fought on the ground with the 5th Army and defended the airfields of the Tuskegee Airmen (99th FS, 332nd FG) who flew escort missions with the bombers of the 15th Air Force. Pop's unit was the vanguard of the Allied liberation of Rome in 1944.

My father's nuclear family includes his mother, his siblings and their spouses, and my godfather, an immigrant from British Guyana who was raised by my paternal grandmother along with my father and his siblings.
