Tom Chiminello came from
a family with a proud military history. Pictured is a clipping
from the Quincy Patriot Ledger dated June 3, 1943 which shows his
father, Major Dominic Chiminello (retired as Colonel, US Army) along
with Dominic's Sister Lt. Carmen Chiminello, and brother Lt. Frank
Chiminello.

All four Chiminello children entered the
military, and two of them , his sister Barbara and brother Phil, served
in Viet Nam during the same period.
Pictured from left to right (rear) are: Barbara, Gene, Phil, and Tom.
In front are their parents, Lena and Dominic.

Barbara and Tom were commissioned within one
week of each other. This clipping from the Military Service News
shows their mother pinning the bars on Tom, and their father pinning
the bars on Barbara. |

Tom was an avid horse rider and is pictured
here in the early 60's on one of his mounts. |
