Welcome back Ryan Valencia!
Ryan Valencia has returned from his 9 month stint in Kuwait in support of Operation Spartan Shield! During his time there he was able to work with USO to feed 200 soldiers with donations from Simi Sunrise. He was also able to support troops there with items from For The Troops based on donations from Simi Sunrise.
Ryan also presented several club members with challenge coins which service members use to thank those who have been of service to them.
Ryan, good to have you back safe and sound!
