We are thrilled to still be able to come together, during these trying times, to honor retired U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman Second Class Clint Haskell and award him and his family with a new payment-free 2019 Honda Pilot,” shared retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major David Dougherty, Director of Skills4Life, Military Warriors Support Foundation. “With this new vehicle, we hope it can serve as a source of peace and help pave the way for a new solid foundation, so his family can start the next chapter of their lives.”Haskell grew up in Maine and enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 2007 to follow in his family’s footsteps to serve his country. He attended Navy Corps at Great Lakes, Illinois and Field Medical School at Camp Johnson, North Carolina for training, and was assigned to the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. In 2009, he was deployed to Afghanistan, where he received the Combat Action Ribbon for engagements with an enemy force.
