A Legacy of Military Service

Bryan Sanderson, a veteran of the United States Army, followed a proud family tradition of military service when he enlisted in 2001. Serving with the 82nd Airborne Division, Bryan completed two tours in Iraq, where he played a pivotal role in training and assisting the Iraqi Army. During his second tour, Bryan worked alongside U.S. Marine teams, helping equip and prepare the Iraqi forces to take on security responsibilities after U.S. forces withdrew. His dedication to this mission highlighted his commitment to both national defense and global stability.

Transitioning to Civilian Life

After his active-duty service, Bryan continued his military journey in the National Guard, serving until 2013. During this time, he earned his degree and attended Law Enforcement Academy, setting the stage for his civilian career. Bryan initially worked with a large corporation, relocating to a major city, but ultimately decided to move to the Shenandoah region in 2016 after hearing positive feedback from peers. This change led to Bryan adopting two dogs, purchasing a home, and finding a place he could truly call home.
