Terry was nominated by his wife Leslie:
My husband is the epitome of a true professional both at home and at work. He has served his country for over 25 years and been stationed all over the world. He started his career at NAS Oceana in 1991 and has gone on to serve at Pensacola, Norfolk, back to Pensacola, Japan, back to Norfolk where he volunteered for IA duty and did a year in Bahgdad, Iraq, Fallon, NV, and finally back at Oceana where it all started. During this time he has brought two wonderful little girls in this world who absolutely adore him. In his mind the only reward and acknowledgment he deserves is when he is molding junior Sailors into true professionals and seeing them succeed. After 25 years of honorable service to his country and family, please help me say thank you for being the man any woman would be honored to call her husband.
