Honoring SPC Taitano: Supporting his family after a tragic loss

We are heartbroken to share that SPC Taitano, Dante, a dedicated Specialist/Abrams System Maintainer in the Army, tragically lost his life during a training exercise/mission in Lithuania. He was deeply committed to serving his country and was admired for his courage, kindness, and unwavering dedication. During the training, 4 U.S. Army soldiers went missing in Lithuania on March 25th, and despite all efforts, he was found dead inside the M88 with two others, and one still missing. The military and all other governing bodies involved have identified all four of the soldiers and notified their next of kin. His sudden passing has left his family, friends, and fellow soldiers in profound grief.

We are raising funds to support his family that are in Guam right now. The military is only paying for three people to fly out and go to the service. Dante has FIVE other siblings that want to see their brother. We are raising funds for expenses, travel costs, and other unexpected financial burdens during this time. Your contributions will also help honor Dante's memory and ensure his service is never forgotten. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference to his loved ones. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to spread awareness and support.

On behalf of the Taitano Family, we are grateful for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Thank you for standing with us as we honor Dante's life and legacy.

My name is Justine Oruga, and I am arranging this GoFundMe for the family to help them with everything they need. Please also include the three other service members in your prayers.
