Fr. Capodanno, a native of Staten Island, New York, was a Catholic priest, who received the posthumous Medal of Honor for his valor as a chaplain to the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. Among his men, he earned the nickname, the Grunt Padre, because of his ministry to the grunts. Veterans recall how Fr. Capodanno was a constant companion to the Marines, living, eating and sleeping in the same rough conditions as the men he served.
