Castellano served admirably in World War I and the Pacific Theater of Operations. For his valiant service. he was awarded numerous medals and ribbons. including the "West Indies Campaign" ribbon. the VFW medal. and an award for bravely rescuing a man from drowning on July 21. 1921. Sgt. Castellano believed that he was a naturalized U.S. citizen by dint of his service to the United States. Unfortunately. through circumstances unknown to us today. he was required but failed to fill out the necessary documents to become a U.S. citizen. As a result. he did not become the American citizen that he always believed he would become.
