David Bellavia Biography

Staff Sgt. David G. Bellavia was born Nov. 10 1975 in Buffalo New York. The son of a successful dentist and the youngest of four boys Bellavia grew up in western New York and attended Lyndonville Central High School and Houghton Academy.
Following his high school graduation in 1994 Bellavia attended Franklin Pierce University in Rindge New Hampshire and the University at Buffalo where he studied biology and theater before turning to the military.
Bellavia enlisted in the U.S. Army as an infantryman in 1999. After One Station Unit Training the Army assigned Bellavia to the Syracuse Recruiting Battalion; an assignment which allowed his infant son to receive the medical care he needed. In 2001 Bellavia had to choose between changing his military occupational specialty submitting a hardship discharge or remaining as an infantryman and leaving his family for 36 months on an unaccompanied tour to Germany.
After the terror attacks on 9/11 Bellavia felt his country needed him and chose to stay and fight. That sense of duty had been ingrained in Bellavia since he was a child by his grandfather Joseph Brunacini who served in the Army during the Normandy Campaign in World War II and earned a Bronze Star for his valor.
