(West Long Branch, NJ) – This Veterans Day, NJ Sharing Network proudly honors the memory of U.S. Army Sergeant Dennis Andrew Vaccaro of West Long Branch, NJ, whose life and selfless gifts as an organ donor continue to inspire and bring hope to others. A dedicated soldier, loving son, husband, and friend, Dennis lived a life of purpose and bravery, embodying service both in life and beyond.
Dennis joined the U.S. Army in February 2016, a journey that led him to serve as an airborne combat medic within the 82nd Airborne Division. Throughout his five years of service, including a tour in Afghanistan, Dennis’s devotion to his fellow soldiers and his country was evident. He was the kind of soldier who put the needs of others above his own, even volunteering his leave time so a fellow soldier could be with family.
“Dennis had a way of always putting others first, even in the smallest things,” said his mother, Teresa Vaccaro. “That’s who Dennis was – selfless, thoughtful, and always looking out for others.”…
