I know how hard it is to say goodbye to our earthly parents. So glad to have known yours even though it was a long time ago when you lived on the corner of W. 77th st and Linwood Avenue. Your dad was a very handsome man.
For the Commanders, Carroll R. Michaud

The Final Salute
Brothers and Sisters-in-Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Tony Santoro our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Tony. To Tony it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army. Tony, we commend you for your honorable military service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 781 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 177 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Tony's family and loved ones.
