Edmond Theriault was born on March 22, 1923 in Fort Kent, Maine. He was the fourth son of Eva and Joseph Theriault. They raised a family of fourteen children during the Great Depression (1929-1939) and World War II (1939-1945).

Eli joined the Army Air Corps, went to flight school, and was made a B-17 pilot. Alban joined the Infantry and spent one and a half years as a platoon leader in Europe. Edmond joined the Army Air Corps, went to flight school, and spent twenty-two months in the Pacific Theater as a B-17 pilot. Alire (Pete) joined the Air Force.
