SGM Vargo made his peaceful exit from this world on June 14, 2012, due to complications resulting from his short but fierce battle with brain cancer. Joseph was born in Columbus, Ohio, on July 26, 1928, to Joseph Vargo and Anna Tasko, both originally from Hungary. At the age of 17, he joined the U.S. Army and served proudly in both the Vietnam and Korean wars. Joseph thrived in the Army, reaching the rank of Sergeant Major before retiring from active duty after nearly 27 years of service. He then worked as a civilian for the Army until his retirement at the age of 64.
