Daniel Luciano, a U.S. Army veteran, has been inducted into the 2025 NY State Veterans Hall of Fame. Selected by State Sen. Steve Chan, Luciano defended his country during the Vietnam War by enlisting in 1966 and serving in Korea. He achieved the rank of Specialist 4 while guarding the Demilitarized Zone and later received a 100% disability rating due to exposure to an unidentified substance. Luciano married Jodi, with whom he raised two daughters, and he is a member of veteran organizations. A community celebration honored his induction into the Hall of Fame.
"Despite the chronic pain that has followed him throughout his life, Mr. Luciano's resilience never let it dampen his spirit or limit his commitment to his family," Chan said.
"It's a feel-good story that moves me as I saw the response from the community about Daniel being inducted to the hall of fame," Chan told The Brooklyn Eagle.
"He serves as an example to all of us. We need to strive to be like Daniel. It was an honor for me to induct Daniel into the NY Veteran's Hall of Fame."
