Title

James P. Dibble: The Monument in Padula, Italy

Description

The citizens of Padula, Italy, were extremely friendly and helpful during Jim & Ted Dibble's search for answers to their uncle's death.

As everyone learned more about James and what happened, they viewed James as a hero and wanted to honor him. In May 2005 they erected a monument to his memory and sacrifice in helping them win freedom during WWII.

See photos from the dedication ceremony, including the monument itself, along with transcriptions of the speeches given.
