Veteran for Life:
Carmen Bigas Burdoy

U.S. Air Force
2010-2016
Security Forces

Serving for the Unites States Military was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I am proud to be part of the USA. I had to stay within the community, so as a veteran now, I still serve veterans! Working with the Exchange allows me, and gives me the privilege.

I served for the United States Air Force. I served six years as a security forces member. I spent a one-year tour in Korea, where I got to meet the best leadership I have ever had. I worked protecting South Korea from imminent threat from North Korea. I also served at Patrick Air Force Base. Although my time in the military was not as lengthy as others, I experienced how great it is to serve the United States.

I am proud of my years in service. I have met wonderful people of various diversities. I learned other cultures and discipline required to survive as a member.
