My congratulations to Leigh!!! He’s a great guy, the Coast Guard couldn’t find a better leader. He is a take charge kind of guy, a bit wreckless sometimes, but you can always count on him. I may be a bit prejudiced as his cousin, but I haven’t seen him much since about 1992 when he joined the CG and I signed on to the Air Force. Great work Cuz’!!!
Great job brother!!! You make our family very, very proud! I love you and God bless!!
Leigh
