Brandon was nominated by Nicole Spears:
My husband is a 3rd Class Master at Arms in the worlds greatest Navy. He is going on six years in next March and has already served three very long deployment to Dubai, and Spain twice. He has sacrificed being home for the birth of our first son Colt who is now 3 and being by our side for the entire pregnancy of our second son Wesson who is now 1. He has missed so much time with our family to protect and serve our country all while making the time to make sure his children get to at least see him on skype whenever he has the available time. He has taught our children what true sacrifice and dedication is and is the best role model I could ask for to be my husband and father of my children.
