Hey all, I’m trying to get back in touch with an old friend and teammate, Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Salassa, who served with distinction during the conflicts between 2009 and 2014 (and in Libya) Michael was one of those rare people who combined professionalism, humor, sharp instincts, and genuine care for his team.
