HONOREE: ROCCO MICHAEL LANDI

Rocco Michael Iannuzzelli

US NAVY - WWII

When Rocco Michael Landi served during WWII, his full legal name was Rocco Michael Iannuzzelli. My father legally changed our family’s last name around 1957–1958 for business purposes. I do not have any official documentation of the name change.

However, my father did serve in WWII in Okinawa under the name Rocco Michael Iannuzzelli, and I do have a roster listing him under that name. He passed away at the age of 54 from cancer, and I have limited information about his service—primarily photographs of him in the Pacific and some documents confirming his presence there.

It would be a great honor to recognize him for his service during one of the major battles in the Pacific, the Battle of Okinawa.
