DAY 47: TONY TERCERO

 Vietnam War Hero, Phoenix, AZ

On the day Tony Tercero died of COVID-19, the number of U.S. deaths from the virus surpassed the number of Americans killed in the Vietnam War. A veteran of that war himself, Tercero supported veterans’ causes. His health suffered from the aftereffects of his service: combat wounds and exposure to Agent Orange.
