Achille Michael Maggio, a retired mail carrier who was honored for heroism during World War II, died of heart failure Monday in his Sound Beach home, his family said. He was 94. “He was extremely proud of his service,” Charles Maggio said of his father’s military record and tenure with the U.S. Postal Service.
During the war, Achille Maggio was a sergeant in the Army’s 90th Infantry Division in campaigns in the Ardennes, Central Europe and the Rhineland, and was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
