Ross Stowers, Navy
ATC Stowers is a proud member of the US NAVY but an even more proud father and husband. The dedication and balance he shows to his career and Homelife are unmatched
Military Hero
ATC Chief Petty Officer Ross Stowers was nominated by his wife Dawna, who had the following to say about him: "My husband is the most dedicated, hard working and selfless man I have ever met. He will never fully understand how proud I am of all that he does and what he provides for his family and his sailors.
He works hard for the Navy and then comes home to be a little league coach for our son, he is also a board member for the little league to try and help improve the league (which is already great) and lake sure that the community has value as well. He never seems to get the recognition he deserves and as much as we try no amount of admiration will ever be enough to convey the love and appreciation we have for him. There is no one better.
ATC Stowers is a proud member of the US NAVY but an even more proud father and husband. The dedication and balance he shows to his career and Homelife are unmatched. Ross has served in the military for over 16 years and plans to make this his career and retire from active duty. Stowers has accomplished so much throughout his career and we couldn’t be more proud of his ambition to continue to achieve more.
Daughter - Zoey (13), Son- Mason (11) are the center of his world. Everything he does is undoubtedly for them. The love he has for his children and his wife is amazing. Ross is currently away training for the upcoming deployment and we cannot wait for his return.
He is an incredible man, well rounded, loved, dedicated and caring… even a little spotlight might embarrass him BUT he deserves an entire ceremony in his honor if you ask me."
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, ROSS!
Andrew Schurr, Navy
“Has been a leader in his unit and received Admiral Accommodation twice in his career. He’s a good family man and respected in his community.”
Chris Grau, Navy
“Chris is an IS1 currently serving in the Navy with 11 years in so far. He’s an awesome husband and dad to our three kids (ages 4,7,8). We’ve been through countless ship underways, detachments and deployments. He literally is the hardest working person I know and will always support his shipmates in the process. Chris is so passionate about his work and always provides a good example. So thankful for our hero, Chris!”
David Stephens, Army
“Dad served overseas in Korea along the DMZ, and in Germany. He mostly, however, spent most of his time between Fort Worth in Texas and the Mojave desert. I am nominating him because of the amazing stories he’s told us about all of the places he went to, and life as a member of our armed forces.”
Erol Sahin, Marines
“He is amazing. He immediately began working himself to death after leaving the marines, he has been an inspiration to me and I’m proud to call him my boyfriend.”
Mariah Smith, Army
“She is an amazing woman. Our daughter needed open heart surgery on 28 March 23 and Mariah was the rock that kept the family strong. My daughter has healed perfect since then and Mariah is back to work in the pediatrician wing of McDonald’s Army health center. She does so much for everyone and doesn’t get the recognition.”
Ryan Ross, Navy
For a guy from a very small town in Kansas, he has been able to travel all over the world with his deployments and take care of his family. At National Armed Forces Day I say thank to all those currently serving and those that have served our great United States.
Cyndee Hudson, Air Force
“Cyndee is the sweetest, warmest, giving person i ever ever met. Her ability to handle poise in stressful situations in directly due to her 22 years serving at Langley va. She is truly amazing and deserves recognition.”
Fernando Balla, Navy
“I have watched Fernando go from a Boot E1 to Senior Chief E8 in his over 22 years of Navy service. He is a loving father, husband, brother, son and epitomizes what a US Navy sailor should strive to be!”
Jasmin Mau, Coast Guard
“My mother was enlisted as an engineer, then became a Yeoman second class at E5. She later retired as an 03E, and now works at the joint task force civil as a GS12.”
