00:06.040 --> 00:08.140
community members and military from

00:08.140 --> 00:10.307
both the U . S . And Italy gathered to

00:10.307 --> 00:12.760
celebrate Lieutenant Vincent capitano .

00:13.440 --> 00:15.384
We are not here to commemorate the

00:15.384 --> 00:18.240
death of a man , but rather to honor

00:18.240 --> 00:21.470
the life of a man , a life cut short on

00:21.470 --> 00:24.090
the fields of fire 44 years ago .

00:24.090 --> 00:27.190
Tomorrow , Father capitano sacrificed

00:27.190 --> 00:29.468
his life on the battlefield of Vietnam ,

00:29.468 --> 00:31.630
administering last rites to the dying

00:31.630 --> 00:34.070
and first aid to the wounded . He lived

00:34.070 --> 00:37.580
his life fully . He radiated

00:37.580 --> 00:40.120
christ as about a field chaplain as an

00:40.130 --> 00:42.260
officer of the Navy , and for this

00:42.260 --> 00:44.450
reason the United States awarded him

00:44.450 --> 00:46.450
the Medal of Honor . Supporters are

00:46.450 --> 00:48.561
hopeful he will soon be recognized as

00:48.561 --> 00:50.728
the patron saint of the Marine Corps .
