CAPT Daryl Schaffer

Coast Guard

Daryl retired after an active duty career of nearly 31 years and is using the Post-9/11 GI Bill to study the Security and Disaster Management for a second Masters degree (and possible PhD). Originally both from MN, he and his wife moved 12 times, living in every part of the country. As a Wounded Warrior, Daryl had to re-learn how to do daily activities which changed their future; he now needs to use a trekking pole in order to walk. Daryl appreciates all the people he has served with throughout the year and for serving the American people.
