John...I tried to locate Joseph McGrath on the
military web site http://www.abmc.gov/ without any
luck. this site lists those killed in action in
different wars. I have had sucess in finding others
from waterbury on this site. I grew up in the
hopeville section and perhaps knew Joseph and perhaps
your mother as well. If I can be of any help please
let me know. Harold
