Valente was born on August 3, 1921 in New York, New York, originally staying in an apartment in Brooklyn. His parents Ciro and Mary were Italian immigrants from the early 1900s, his father being a music professor and maestro while his mother worked as a finisher in a factory and was a member of the International Ladies' Garments Workers' Union. He had five siblings, however the first sibling died as an infant. His sisters Rosalie, otherwise known as Sally, and Carmela, also known as Lilly, both worked on Wall Street. His younger sister, Gina, was a musical prodigy, who started a prestigious musical career at the age of eight. Ralph was also a musician, having experience in playing the accordion and being the leader of his own musical trio. The family later moved to an apartment in Carnegie Hall.\n On December 12, 1943, Valente enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of twenty-two. He started introductory training at Camp Upton, New York with his unit as a Private. During his training, he attained 185 points out of 200, earning the qualification of expert rifleman. On January 5, 1944, Valente and his unit transferred from Camp Upton to Camp Blanding, Florida two days later for advanced training. He was assigned to heavy artillery, which he and his unit were to maintain and operate both heavy machine guns and mortar guns. During this part of his training, he also studied for officer's training school, with the hopes of becoming an officer in his unit. However, he was not able to attain a rank past Private. During bivouac, he started having stomach problems, becoming so severe to the point where he was admitted to the hospital in Camp Blanding on April 26. However, the hospital staff could not find the source of the stomach issues, and he was released and transferred to a different unit on May 13. On May 27, Valente returned from bivouac and started studying to be a gunner or assistant gunner until he received orders to go on leave. \n During his training, Valente took every opportunity presented to him to write back home to his parents and sisters. In some cases, whenever his wife Millie visited the camp, she would often write to the Valente family instead.\n He returned home on leave until June 26, when he was sent to Fort George G. Meade to prepare for deployment in Europe. He arrived in England, where his unit was camped near London, and were later deployed to France. There, he fought in France as a member of Company A of the 318th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry Division, where he was wounded during fighting when his division, as a part of General Patton's Third Army, was taking part in pushing the Germans out of Northern France. He was awarded the Purple Heart on October 13th and was sent back to the front after recovering from his wounds. On November 9th, he was severly wounded in action during military operations along the Seille River in France. He passed away from his wounds on November 24th, 1944. He is buried along side his wife, Amelia, in Long Island National Cemetery, East Farmingdale, NY.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Ralph J.

Valente was born on August 3, 1921 in New York, New York, originally staying in an apartment in Brooklyn. His parents Ciro and Mary were Italian immigrants from the early 1900s, his father being a music professor and maestro while his mother worked as a finisher in a factory and was a member of the International Ladies' Garments Workers' Union. He had five siblings, however the first sibling died as an infant. His sisters Rosalie, otherwise known as Sally, and Carmela, also known as Lilly, both worked on Wall Street. His younger sister, Gina, was a musical prodigy, who started a prestigious musical career at the age of eight. Ralph was also a musician, having experience in playing the accordion and being the leader of his own musical trio. The family later moved to an apartment in Carnegie Hall.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn December 12, 1943, Valente enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of twenty-two. He started introductory training at Camp Upton, New York with his unit as a Private. During his training, he attained 185 points out of 200, earning the qualification of expert rifleman. On January 5, 1944, Valente and his unit transferred from Camp Upton to Camp Blanding, Florida two days later for advanced training. He was assigned to heavy artillery, which he and his unit were to maintain and operate both heavy machine guns and mortar guns. During this part of his training, he also studied for officer's training school, with the hopes of becoming an officer in his unit. However, he was not able to attain a rank past Private. During bivouac, he started having stomach problems, becoming so severe to the point where he was admitted to the hospital in Camp Blanding on April 26. However, the hospital staff could not find the source of the stomach issues, and he was released and transferred to a different unit on May 13. On May 27, Valente returned from bivouac and started studying to be a gunner or assistant gunner until he received orders to go on leave. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring his training, Valente took every opportunity presented to him to write back home to his parents and sisters.

There, he fought in France as a member of Company A of the 318th Infantry Regiment, 80th Infantry Division, where he was wounded during fighting when his division, as a part of General Patton's Third Army, was taking part in pushing the Germans out of Northern France. He was awarded the Purple Heart on October 13th and was sent back to the front after recovering from his wounds.
