After the service Emiliano was transferred to USA TACOM in Warren, Michigan, He stayed for about 2 years before bringing his family to California, and in California he worked for the City of Anaheim doing what he did best...working on diesel trucks. And of course his favorite thing to do on his days off was to tinker with his trucks and cars.
