  1. Your father is my neighbor and always glows when he talks about you. May you go home now knowing you have done a job that so few dare to do. God Bless you Alessandro,

  2. Il Consiglio Comunale di Palizzi (RC - Italia) nella seduta odierna ha ricordato ed onorato, con un minuto di silenzio, il giovane Alessandro Plutino, di anni 29, Sergente del Corpo dei Ranger degli Stati Uniti d'America, caduto in battaglia in terra afgana.
    Il Consiglio Comunale all'unanimità dei presenti ha espresso sentite condoglianze al padre, Sandro Plutino, alla madre, Dianne Hammond, alla sorella Brenna ed alla nonna Carmelina.
    Alessandro, come tutta la sua famiglia, nutriva un amore particolare per la terra di Palizzi, amore che ha portato suo nonno, Bruno Salvatore, ad esprimere la volontà di essere sepolto proprio nella sua Palizzi.
