Veterans Week Reflections - Kevin Long

Kevin Long, RN, FATHNA - Lead International Travel Health Nurse, Student Health Service

  • US Army
  • 13B – Cannon Crew Member
    • (Artillery 105 mm)
  • 1987 Ft. Sill, OK  / 1987 - 1991 Ft. Ord, CA

My time in the service taught me to be self-driven, strategic, self-sufficient and to think about issues from 5,000 ft., honor, respect and selfless sacrifice. It made me into the man I am today.  I was trained as a Combat Lifesaver, to suture, start IV’s and care for my fellow soldier.  This Combat Lifesaver experience ultimately led me to becoming a nurse.
For this I will always be grateful!
