THANK YOU TOM FARANDA'S FOLLY--HONORING A PRIEST-VETERAN AND CROTON RESIDENT, PHOTOS TOO

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

THANK YOU TOM FARANDA'S FOLLY--HONORING A PRIEST-VETERAN AND CROTON RESIDENT, PHOTOS TOO

This is part of a Memorial Day presentation, put together and written by my friend ER. Because of the weather the service with over 250 attendees was in the HNM gym. The pictures are of Fr. Tony Fagnani’s youngest brother Attilio and his family. Very glad they were able to attend.

Fox-Eklof American American Legion Post #505 would like to recognize Father Anthony Gabriel Fagnani [FAG-YANI], who as a First Lieutenant and Regimental Chaplain, was wounded on the front lines of Korea in 1952, while serving with the 179th Infantry Regiment, of the 45th Infantry Division, and awarded The Purple Heart Medal. (Incidentally, two other Croton veterans served with Father Tony at the same time somewhere in that division.)  READ AND SEE MORE AT Honoring a priest-veteran and Croton resident – Tom Faranda's Folly
