Howell Sailor Hard at Work Overseas

We salute you!

So many times a friend or neighbor goes into the military and we don't get to find out what they're doing, especially if they're overseas. So it's wonderful that the Navy is happy to help us celebrate some of our local heroes. Today we want to shine a little light on Matthew Gurrera from Howell.

Builder 3rd Class Matthew Gurrera is assigned to the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3’s Detail in Tinian, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Here, Matthew is cutting wood for building amenities for an expeditionary-style camp. The construction battalion that he is assigned to is deployed across the Indo-Pacific region. Their duty is to conduct high-quality construction to support U.S. and partner nations to strengthen partnerships, deter aggression, and enable expeditionary logistics and naval power projection.

The battalion stands ready to complete assigned tasking, support Humanitarian Aid/Disaster Relief and Major Combat Operations throughout the area of operations.

To Matthew, and everyone else serving our nation, we thank you for your service!
