Lt. Chappetto Honored With Park Rededicated 80 Years After Death

Peter Chappetto, an Army infantry officer who died in World War II, has no grave near his boyhood home in Astoria, Queens, nor at any other military cemetery overseas. The second lieutenant was buried at sea. His family, including a nephew, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Raymond Chappetto, honor his memory for a park named for him — Chappetto Square.
