Joseph Theinert

Army 1st Lieutenant Joseph Theinert, age 24, from Shelter Island, New York, died while on patrol in Afghanistan Friday, June 4, 2010.

He was with Bravo Troop 1-71 Cavalry.

His mother said that her son’s lifelong dream was to be an officer in the Army—not the Navy, Marines, or any other branch of the military, but specifically the Army. “He’s the only young person that I know who from the moment he could talk died being what he wanted to be,” she said. “It’s that specific.”

He was a member of the 10th Mountain Division. 


Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Joseph Theinert is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
