Louis Fastuca

We found this along 40 in Pennsylvania. We are trying to get it back to the family. My number is 724-208-6032.

Fastuca, My dude it has been forever since we last talked. I miss our talks even if you were a pain in the but some times. You were always a rock and knew what you wanted. Few years back I was able to find your son at a TAPS event. It was the most rewarding and best thing that I needed at that time in my life. I hope I get to tell him about the man I knew for our three years in Hotel company. I´ll always remember our pizza dinners when we were room mates. Rest easy brother. I miss...

I will always remember discussion with Louis and his Father about the decision to join the Army. America needs more men and families like the Fastuca's

Man, It hit me hard today. You were the absolute epitome of what an Infantryman was. You were my first Team Leader, back when we were just "playing" Infantry in the Honor Guard. Attention to detail, neatness of dress, man you were the epitome of cool to me, to a LOT of us. So long as I have an arm to wear it on, your bracelet will never leave my arm, and your name will never be far from my mind. I hope youre resting peacefully up there brother. Noli Mi Tangere!

Hey Lou, I was thinking of you today. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade. It’s also hard to believe that it’s been over two decades since we played hockey together at Malvern.
I just wanted to leave you a note so you and your family knew that you’re not forgotten.
I don’t get to PA much anymore but next time I do I’ll visit IceLine for you.

Memorial Day, We remembered you with the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) at the service at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Lou, your son, Julius, will never forget you. All the dignitaries were there honoring all our military fallen, POTUS (Trump), VP Pence, Mattis, Kelley, Dunsford, Bob Dole (almost 94 yrs. old), etc. It was a beautiful service in your honor and all your fallen comrades!

Never forget you. The Afghan flag holder is now proudly displayed at the Memorial at Malvern Prep

Hello Cezarina,

Thank you for your kind words. I read that Sgt. Fastuca played some hockey too as a young man. We would love to send you some of our patches like the one in the picture and a T-shirt for your grandson if you let us know what size and where to send these items. It would be an honor for us to do so. You can contact us privately at our email address. Thanks again and God bless you and your family.
