Franco Miotto and U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Todd R. Wasmund, commanding general of the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa, hold a framed photo of Corporal Major Matteo Miotto. Miotto, an Alpini soldier originally from Thiene, was tragically killed in Afghanistan on December 31, 2010. In collaboration with the U.S. Army Garrison Italy, the Italian Army has honored Miotto’s legacy by naming a military base in Longare—Caserma Matteo Miotto. This base, soon to house Soldiers of the 207th Military Intelligence Brigade-Theater, will serve as a reminder of Miotto's bravery and sacrifice. Caserma Matteo Miotto holds special significance, being the first military base in Italy to be named after a soldier of a recent conflict. (U.S. Army photo by 1st. Lt. Katherine Sibilla)
