(3) Father Capodanno’s first assignment as a 
missionary was working with aboriginal Taiwanese 
people in the mountains of Taiwan where he served 
in a parish and later in a school. After several years, 
Father Capodanno returned to the United States for 
leave and then was assigned to a Maryknoll school 
in Hong Kong. 
(4) Father Vincent Capodanno volunteered as a 
Navy Chaplain and was commissioned a Lieutenant 
in the Chaplain Corps of the United States Naval 
Reserve in December 28, 1965. 
(5) Father Vincent Capodanno selflessly ex-
tended his combat tour in Vietnam on the condition 
he was allowed to remain with the infantry.

tle in the Thang Binh District of the Que-Son Valley
