DEAR CORPORAL ANTONELLY,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE AVIONICS TECHNICIAN. SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE.

We gathered together a few years ago after another of our brothers in arms had passed. A group of North Catholic graduates and friends who at one time resided in Port Richmond decided to erect a plaque to honor all veterans and especially those who we knew who lived in the neighborhood.Finally we will install and dedicate this monument this Sunday Nov. 8th.

I did not know you Charles but I know that you are from the neighborhood.I am also a Vietnam Veteran '67-69. I will place a laminated photo of you beneath our 2,700 lb. granite monument and we will remember you at this solemn ceremony. "Never Forgotten"
