Aaron was nominated by Phil Howard:
Navy Seal 1st class Aaron Howard was NSWDG sailor of the year for 2016-2017. He has been in the Navy Seals for 16 years. He has been deployed more than a dozen times and has numerous valor awards including the Bronze Star w/valor for saving his teammates under heavy enemy gunfire and to include the president unit citation medal! He recently had new born twins and is an amazing family man, friend and teammate. He was recently diagnosed with PTSD, depression, anxiety and severe TBI from years of combat. Navy Seal Howard is trying to get a medical review board but his command and the navy are deny him that right as a active duty seal! I nominate him because he is a hero and he will literally give you the shirt off his back even if it means him getting a sun burn. I have seen him give people on the corners 100 dollar bills! He is an amazing person and wish him the best of luck on his road to recovery!
