My name is Michael Sudano. While looking at the names of the crew I came across an Angelo Sudano. He did not survive the attack on the Indianapolis. I was curious to know more about him ,where he was from , how old he was when he died. My family is from the Bronx with other relatives in Brooklyn. While growing up there was never any mention of this Angelo Sudano. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You all for your service and sacrifice.

Perhaps requesting service records will help you determine if this is a family member

You can do so either online or in writing:

Online, go to:

1. Write to National Personnel Records Center Military Personnel Records 9700 Page Ave. St. Louis MO 63132-5100 Ask them for Form #180 which is a request for records.
2. Fill out and return. They will send you a NA Form #13075 (National Archives Record Form).
   
3. Fill out this form which is more complete than first one.
   
4. Mail it back to them. THERE WILL BE COSTS CONNECTED WITH THIS, BUT THEY ARE REASONABLE FOR A REVERED DOCUMENT OF YOUR FAMILY HISTORY.
   
   Hope this is helpful!
