Father Capodanno was added to the “Medal of Honor Hallway of Heroes” at the Air Mobility Command Museum in Dover on August 1, 2023. This dedication began with an innocent question: Since the remains of US fallen warriors normally come home via Dover, the Capodanno Guild asked if Father’s remains followed this path.
At first, the answer was not forthcoming – records were archived. Then, an old handwritten log was found that recorded Father’s remains being loaded into a hearse for transport to Staten Island.
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Admiral Steve Stanley (ret.) told Father Capodanno’s story during the Aug. 1 ceremony.
