VETERAN SPOTLIGHT This week we shine the spotlight on Alfonzo Richardson! SGT Richardson served in the Army for 9.5 years as an infantryman and unit supply specialist, 11B/92Y. After completing two OEF deployments to Afghanistan and over 295 patrol missions in theater, he earned the Combat Infantry Badge, multiple achievement medals. Alfonzo has both a bachelors and masters degree and currently works as a cybersecurity analyst for SAIC. When not wrestling with his dog, Abel, and staying updated on all things wrestling, he enjoys spending time with his wife Briana.
Thank you for your service!
