About the Mission:

The streets of heaven got a little more crowded with Angels today as the Vietnam War claimed the life of Joseph James Ingino, Sr.. Joe fought his years long battle with Agent Orange with the courage of a member of the U.S. Army’s Big Red 1 Division. He was surrounded by his family at his passing on December 3, 2022
.
Joe was an in-country Vietnam Veteran who served between 1969 and 1970 with the First Infantry Division. His meritorious service earned him the Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Ribbon, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, and the Army Commendation with Oak Leaf cluster. In 2010 he was inducted into the New York State Veterans Hall of Fame.

Joe's advocacy for Agent Orange exposure awareness was well known and had earned him the nickname “Preacher.” In 2005, he worked with the Town of Oyster Bay to bring the “Vietnam Wall Experience” to Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. He was proud to have been instrumental in establishing the nation’s first visible legacy to the more than 300,000 Vietnam Veterans chemically wounded or killed by Agent Orange dioxins.

Joe was a long time Board Member of the New York State Veterans Home in Stony Brook. He was a tireless worker/member for the Vietnam Veterans of America, LI Rolling Thunder Chapter 6, and was called Papa Duck by his ducklings (Gold Star Moms).

Portions of the above narrative are contained in Joe's obituary.  His full obituary is available for viewing online by clicking here.
