Alan Ritchson Instagram – PFC Caesar Viglienzone was solider and a son. Killed in action February 1, 2006 at the age of 22, it is remarkable to think that he would be 40 years old this September.
PFC Viglienzone holds the distinction of being one of the very few post-9/11 service members with a burial marker in the beautiful and historic San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio.
This morning, his parents will be in the that cemetery, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, remembering their only child.
The contrast between the sadness of his loss and the beauty of his resting place can not be overstated.
Norma and Dennis Viglienzone are gracious and open about Caesar, generously sharing their son’s memory with friends and fellow Gold Star parents. They are a gift to any American who wants to honor the small percentage of families in our country bearing the heavy burden of military service.
Today, we remember Caesar, and we send our love and deepest gratitude to his parents, Norma and Dennis. Link to full commemoration in H&A bio or https://bit.ly/4bxydQd | Posted on 27/May/2024 21:50:49
