Patriot Guard and Associates:

Sadly, we are called to stand for Joseph Paolillo, USMC

In August 1953, at the age of 17, Joseph decided to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. After completing basic training in Parris Island, SC, Joe was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. As a Staff Sergeant, he boarded the USS Saratoga and disembarked in Kobe, Japan where he spent one year. In early 1955, he left Japan and weeks later arrived at Pearl Harbor, disembarked and was stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii for another year as a Military Police Officer. His specialized training was as a gunner and mortarman, eventually becoming his Squad Leader. Joe earned the official enlisted rank of Sergeant and received the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal.

We will stand a Flag Line at the church, provide an escort to the cemetery and stand a Flag Line at the cemetery.

Linda-Daley Liversidge will be RCIC (203-915-8259) and flags will be on site.

 

God Bless America, Our Troops and Our First Responders.

Tom served in the 5th infantry in Vietnam as Light Weapons Infantryman and received: 2 Purple Hearts, A Bronze Star, The Vietnam Service Medal with 1 Bronze Star, The National Defense Service Medal, The Vietnam Campaign Medal with 60 Device, The Army Commendation Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.

 

Thomas lived a life defined by service, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to his family, his community, and his fellow veterans.

 

A proud Army veteran, military service was not simply a chapter of his life, it was a calling that continued long after he left active duty. Following his retirement, he devoted countless hours to helping fellow veterans navigate the VA system, ensuring they received the benefits and support they had earned through their service. His passion for serving veterans led him to found the East Granby Veterans Association, now the Northern CT Veterans Association, creating a lasting resource and community for local veterans.

 

Tom was a friend of mine as well as our own John “Gigalo” Butler.

 

We will provide an escort from the funeral home to the cemetery and a Flag Line Graveside.  Flags will be onsite.
