WEST SUNBURY, Pa. – Twenty-two recipients of an award presented to them in Luciano Plesakov’s name when they were high school students unfurl a 40-by-80 foot U.S. flag at a ceremony on the football field. They were among a thousand local residents and visitors in attendance for the dedication and renaming of the Moniteau High School football stadium to Luciano Plesakov Stadium in honor of Luciano who was killed in action as a 19-year-old corporal and machine gunner in the Vietnam War.
Luciano’s nephew, Chad Plesakov, is a Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency program analyst. “My father went through a lot losing his brother, Luciano, and I didn’t want him to worry about me,” said Chad about his decision for not volunteering to serve in the armed forces. “I believed it was the right decision at the time, but it became my biggest regret in life – not serving in the military. Then again, I did the next big thing and became a public servant in the federal government in something as important as investigations and adjudications to make sure that the proper people get into the government and can stay in the government. That's how my uncle’s life impacted me, and Luciano impacted the lives of many others to this day. It all leads back to who he was.”
