Countess Lucille VI

This M-48 tank was erected by Camp Smith in honor of Chief Warrant Officer Frank J. Costanza of the New York Army National Guard, a warrior and citizen soldier who served as Post Maintenance Supervisor from 1980 to 1991. A veteran of the North Africa and Italian campaigns in World War II, he had five M-4 Sherman tanks, all named after his wife Lucille, destroyed under him by enemy action. He received three Bronze Stars and four Purple Hearts for gallantry in action.
