Curtis was nominated by his mom who wrote: My son, Curtis has served this country for 21 years. He served in the U.S. Army, 82nd Airborne Infantry. He served two tours overseas before his 21st birthday. His first overseas tour was shortly after his 18th birthday. He was sent to Afghanistan., and Curtis’ second tour(a year later), was in Iraq. He got an Honorable discharge from the Army. and joined the U.S Coast Guard. Curtis was married while he was at his first duty assignment. They blessed me with two beautiful grand daughters, Adelynn and Annabelle. At his last duty assignment – he then blessed me with a most wonderful, beautiful daughter, Jennifer. I’m proud to say that my son Curtis has grown-up to be a great serviceman, a wonderful husband, and a terrific father. He is selfless in both his deeds and heart.
