Jim and Pat Turpiano’s third and fourth sons (and a new daughter-in-law) are currently serving in the military.
In November, 1st Lt. Michael James Turpiano returned to MacDill Air Force Base from his second tour in Iraq. He has been busy taking college classes and is half-way through his Masters. He will have to put his education on hold. Next month, Lt. Turpiano is being deployed for his third tour to Iraq.
The newlyweds E-4 Daniel James Turpiano and E-3 Kimberly Paige Turpiano are in the same Air Force Unit but have been in separate tents for the last eight months. They were due to rotate back to Germany last month. Their time in Kuwait has been extended.
