George Sellarole, Sr. had quite a sense of humor while serving aboard a ship like the one above. During World War I he would say "While I served in the Coast Guard during the Great War, patroling the waters of the east coast by Boston Harbor, the Germans never attacked Boston Harbor". With a smile he would say, "We did our job."

George Sellarole, Sr. was in the United States Coast Guard as a Chief Petty officer during World War I 1917-1918. He is the father of George Sellarole Jr., Robert Sellarole, Theodore Sellarole, and Kathryn (Kay) Sellarole-Padovano, the wife of Carl Padovano.
