Dattoli saw combat while in Vietnam from July 1966 until July 1967 were Ankhe, IaDrang, Bong Son,
and Am LO Valley.

Good Conduct medal, and the U.S. Service medal.
Vincent Dattoli is one of the best fans of Hackensack High School sports and I have seen him and known him ever since I graduated Hackensack High School in 1973. I have also worked along side him on construction jobs and never knew Vincent F. Dattoli served in Vietnam.
Let us never forget the soldiers sacrifice.
