Sworn to Remember, A Personal History and Memoir of Gregory J. Christiano

There are many reasons for writing an autobiography. I have an opportunity to share the experiences of my life with others, and perhaps, as a gift for my family. It is also an attempt to try and understand my life with all its twists and turns and the forces that have shaped who I am. This isn’t just a story to go along with dozens of old photographs I’ve kept in a box for decades, it is a way of gaining new insight into my life, a record of my time in history, and how it affected me and others around me. It is a collection of thoughts, feelings, events, people and places of my past, in detail. It is my contribution not only to my family’s history but to the world we live in. After reading this memoir, others may relate to their own struggles and triumphs, as I have done, raising two handicapped children. This is a story of an ordinary person, my story.
