Chief Angelino inducted into Veterans Hall of Fame
ALBANY – Norwich City Police Chief and retired Sergeant Major with the United States Marine Corps Joseph Angelino was inducted into the 2012 Veterans Hall of Fame last week, honored for his years of military service and three combat tours in the Middle East.
At last week’s ceremony – held in the Well of the Legislative Office Building – Senator Tom Libous presented Angelino with a plaque, honoring his years of service, and invited the police chief to join him on his weekly cable show, where the two discussed “the many parts of the world that Angelino has travelled to serve his country,” according to a Libous press release.
Said Libous, “For his entire life Sergeant Major Joseph G. Angelino has exhibited the core values of the United States Marine Corps, ‘Honor, Courage, Commitment.’ Semper Fidelis Sergeant Major, America thanks you.”
A member of the U.S. Marine Corps since 1985, Angelino served as a tank commander in Operation Desert Storm, and in 2003, took part in the Iraq invasion as an infantry first sergeant in the area of Nasiriyah, Iraq. In September 2005, Angelino was wounded by a roadside bomb and – 25 days later – during a rocket and mortar attack on his base camp.
According to the press release, Angelino was awarded two Purple Heart medals in 2007, at a U.S. Marine Corps installation just a short distance from General George Washington’s Continental Army Headquarters in Newburgh, New York.
Said Angelino at the time, at the place where Washington himself established the Purple Heart Medal in 1782, “I am truly humble to wear the same decoration that others who are much, much worse of than I am also wear.”
Angelino retired from the U.S. Marine Corps in 2008 after 23 years of service. Besides serving as the city’s police chief, Angelino is an instructor at the Broome County Law Enforcement Academy; a life member of the VFW, American Legion and the Military Order of the Purple Heart; and is affiliated with the NYS Association of Chiefs of Police, the Chenango County Traffic Safety Board and the Alternatives to Incarceration Board. He is currently serves as the president of the Northeast Classic Car Museum and is a member of the Board of Directors of GHS Federal Credit Union in Binghamton, according to the press release.
“I’m grateful for the recognition from Senator Libous and the New York State Senate that was given to veterans,” said Angelino. “It wasn’t just me, I was one among many veterans receiving praise. If you ask me, all veterans are deserving of special recognition for their selfless service.”
