Cpt Greg Dalessio, a Cherry Hill native, gave his life serving his country during combat operations in Salman Pak, Iraq in 2008. Always with a smile on his face, Greg touched the lives of others through his everyday actions and genuine kindness. Proceeds from this event are used for scholarships in Seton Hall University’s School of Diplomacy, and for a donation to The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
