Local Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter Honors Madeline Cuciti


On April 16th Madeline Cuciti, ETS, Computing, received a community service award from the Vietnam Veteterans of America, Chapter 20, for her work on the Support the Troops Project and with Viet Nam veterans. In the fall of 2003, Madeleine and her neighbors developed the Support the Troops Project to assist members of her son's platoon who were serving in Iraq. After sending over 7000 pounds of Christmas presents, supplies and necessities, the Project was expanded to support all veterans -- both overseas and those being welcomed home. As the honor reads in part, "… they are true heroes to all veterans."
