Where did you serve and what did you do?

I served multiple deployments. First starting of the Kosovo Campaign Sea Battle in 2000-2001 with 1/501 aviation battalion serving as an AH64 Apache Crewchief. Then transitioned to a Signals and Electronic Warfare Officer deploying to Iraqi Freedom and Iraqi New Dawn in 2009.

How are you Still Serving?

Once a month my wife and I serve veterans from our PA Soldiers and Sailors Home and our Erie VA for a bingo and luncheon. The veterans are served a fresh meal from the kitchen, dessert and then play bingo till each veteran wins. They each get money to use at their respective canteens.

Why do you do it?

My love for my country runs deep. And although I know longer serve in uniform I can serve those who have. I am blessed to still be able to continue supporting those who served and were the back bone of why I chose to serve I am also honored to do this with my wife and children.
