Randy was nominated by Natalie Coffey:
My husband, my personal hero is the most loving, selfless, humble, & dedicated man that I have ever met. Joining the Navy at 17, he has not looked back since. Now, going on 31 years later, 14 deployments, (which roughly estimates to about 9+ years out to sea) he remains at the Strike Fighter Wing, still as dedicated as ever. I couldn’t be any prouder to be married to this guy & everything that he stands for, as well as all that believes in. He will forever be my hero.
