President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate Virtu Financial founder Vincent Viola as secretary of the Army, the Trump transition team said on Monday.

"Whether it is his distinguished military service or highly impressive track record in the world of business, Vinnie has proved throughout his life that he knows how to be a leader and deliver major results in the face of any challenge," Trump was quoted as saying in a statement.

Personal life

Viola and his wife Teresa have three adult sons, and live in New York City.[1][2] In 2013, their Upper East Side townhouse was listed for sale at $114 million, and Variety described it as "turgidly ornamented and giddily gaudy in its unrestrained grandiosity".[18]

Billionaires are like that,,
Yes they are...


Anyone remember him in the 101st screaming chicken hawks??

Quote:
Military Service

Viola was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army in 1977. After graduating from the Infantry Officer Basic Course and Ranger School, he reported to duty with the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell.[7] After leaving active duty, Viola remained in the U.S. Army Reserves, rising to the rank of major. [8] Viola has remained actively engaged with national security issues.[9]

Born to Italian immigrant parents in Brooklyn, Viola was the first in his family to attend college. He trained as an Airborne Ranger infantry officer and served in the 101st Airborne Division, the transition team statement said.


I would trade him for a career LGBT advocate anyday while Fanning marched in gay pride parades Viola marched in the REAL infantry pre social experimentation

A son of immigrants who's family came here as expected to pursue the American dream now thats american
