Cpl. Joseph "Poppa" Pacetti
United States Army 168th Infantry Regiment
from:Lancaster, PA
When my father served in Vietnam, his 1SG was Poppa Joe Pacetti. Hoe had been captured in Tunisia on 17th of February 1943 and spent the balance of WWII as a Prisoner of War at Stalag 2B. He went on to serve in both Korea and Vietnam, where he watched over my father and made sure that they both made it through the war in one piece. Uniquely, Poppa Joe was a three time recipient of the Combat Infantryman Badge, which puts him in a small group of individuals to have earned this award.
