Despite growing up amid the horrors of World War II as a boy in the Republic of San Marino, Olimpio Guidi considers himself lucky. He grew up with great parents, great siblings, and great friends and neighbors. Although everyone he knew was poor, they all stuck together—a lesson he’d carry with him throughout his life in the U.S. Navy and over a career spanning almost forty years as a civil servant. In recalling his life story, he shares an unlikely tale of survival that included immigrating with his family to his adopted home country of the United States of America.
