Eric was nominated by his wife, Markie :
I would like to nominate my amazing husband DC2 Eric Brennfleck . I couldn’t be more proud to call him my husband , my best friend , the father to our boys and forever our daily hero. He goes above and beyond everyday, he goes in early and stays late making sure his fellow shipmates are taken care of and on their way to success he wants the best for them and for his family. After his long days he comes home and gives us all the love and attention we could ever ask for. I am so proud to have him standing be side me on our life journey together he has succeeded in his naval career very quickly and he continues to strive and get better any way he can… He’s been on two big deployments and multiple underways … Way to many to count .. And although we miss him when he’s gone we know he’s doing his duty .. Protecting our country and making it better. I couldn’t be more proud of him! Eric your hard work and dedication is appreciated more then you know and I can’t thank you enough for serving our country and protecting and providing for our family!! We love you!! And you will ALWAYS be our hero!!
