VIETNAM WAR MEMORIES
JAMES “JIM” PALADINO
Jim Paladino was inducted into the Army just three days after earning his degree in Electrical
Engineering in 1958. Upon completing basic training, he was assigned to the Signal Corp and
specialized in radar repair. He was asked to become a training instructor, which set the course
of his life in a wonderful direction. Following four months of teaching radar courses, Jim
accepted an offer to transfer to Redstone Arsenal, where he taught missile guidance for three
missile systems. This included writing course lesson plans, in-class training for both students
and instructor students, and participating in field tests.
After his Army career came to a conclusion Jim went to work for a Grumman, the aerospace
contractor, providing engineering and management services for Navy and Air Force aircraft,
space shuttle, and NRO space programs. When asked what was the most rewarding personally
about serving in the Army, Jim answered, “The opportunity to learn so many electronic
systems in such a short period of time and the professional growth I gained in the Army led to
a successful post-military career and personal satisfaction in my private life.”
Jim prizes his Good Conduct Medal and Soldier of the Quarter award. Having moved to WV in
2013, Jim adds, “Westbrook Village is a great place to call home,” and he loves volunteering to
help other seniors.
We honor and thank you for your service to our country, James Paladino!

JOHN G. ZONDLO
During his first six years after basic training and tech school, John
Zondlo worked in the air crew protection field maintaining life
support and survival equipment for pilots and other air crew. He
served at Clark Airbase in the Philippines from 1963 to 1964 and at
Kelly AFB in Texas from 1964-1968. He trained pilots and other crew
members on the use of survival equipment and was able to attend
Water Survival School in Okinawa and the Royal Air Force Jungle
Survival School, Singapore.
In 1968 John graduated from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations School in
Washington DC. The last 4 years he mainly worked on sensitive counter-intelligence matters.
These duties were part of his work in the Philippines for 20 years. He always felt rewarded
when justice was served.
He retired in 1982 as Senior Master Sergeant just prior to yet another promotion. Thus began
his civilian law enforcement career as an investigator for the AZ Department of Economic
Security. Then he did work as a special auditor for ARAMCO in Houston, and afterward came
back to Arizona to work as a Criminal Intelligence Analyst/Supervisor for the Department of
Public Safety.
John is proud of his Meritorious Service Medal, and was personally fulfilled when justice
was served due to his work. John and his wife, JoAnn, have 6 children between them and 9
grandchildren. They both love the people of WV.
We honor and thank you for your service to our country, John Zondlo!

says Ralph, who loves the community well.
For fun, Ralph plays golf with the “Beer Boys” two
times a week, even though his preferred beverage
is the Arnold Palmer. He sometimes finishes the day
back on the pickleball courts.
“And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died:
his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.” – Deuteronomy 34:7

their dad would slow down upon
retiring. However, they would
think again as the years went on,
for their dad has not shown any
sign of slowing down whatsoever.
At the age of 94, Ralph starts his
day on the pickleball courts and
progresses to the golf course to
play his favorite game. “I get up
in the morning and do what I love to do,” says Ralph. He considers
this approach responsible for his longevity, and exudes health and
vibrance.
Add to that, Ralph has continuously improved his golf game, as he
achieved a score of 74 just this past year. “But most days I don’t score
