Their TDS is so intense they’d rather ignore a woman with genuine grace & a real record helping children.”
At 22:42 UTC, Tenney marked the return and burial of Staff Sergeant John Pagliuso in Lyons after more than eight decades missing in action during World War II. She stated: “Today in Lyons, we laid to rest Staff Sergeant John Pagliuso, an American hero who gave his life for freedom during World War II. After more than 80 years missing in action, he has finally come home to rest in the community he loved.”
