Phillip was nominated by his wife Holly Young:
Phillip has just hit his 12th year in the service. We have been together for nearly 10! I could not think of a better person, Father, spouse, or sailor to nominate for your Hero of the week. He has sacraficed so much time with our girls just to provide for us. Countless duty days, under-ways and deployments. Missed holidays, birthdays, and sporting events. None of this has ever changed his desire to serve his country! I would love to see Phil get some recognition for all he does and to know that it doesn’t go unnoticed and just how appreciated he is, not only by me but by those that he goes to work for and serves daily. Thank You!
