You will always be remembered.
Gentile gave his all for our country in three wars. He lied about his age to go into the military in WW11 and was a Japaneese POW and was lucky to survive that and he fought in the Korean war and retired from the Army but was called back up because of his critical MOS and went to Nam. He didn't have to search the bunkers and tunnels because of his rank and age but he did anyhow and was killed by a bobby trapped grenade. He was liked and respected by all. I was deeply sadened by his death and will never forget him. For more information please contact me at 770-458-4880
