The Elwood-John Glenn Soccer Program is dedicating this upcoming 2018 season in honor of former player and American hero, MSgt Christopher Raguso (class of 1997).
Chris, a member of the Air National Guard’s 106th Air Rescue Wing, was one of seven servicemen that made the ultimate sacrifice when their helicopter went down on March 15 during a combat mission in Western Iraq while supporting coalition forces in Operation Inherent Resolve, the war against ISIS.
Chris was a treasured father, husband, son, and brother, as well as a 6-time decorated FDNY Lieutenant during his 13-year career at Engine 249/Ladder 113 in Brooklyn and Engine 302/Ladder 155 in Queens. Lt Chris was also a 20-year volunteer with the Commack Fire Department, who dedicated his life to helping others.
