We salute Shreveport, Louisiana's Ty Speight of the US Navy. He is a Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 3rd Class aboard the USS Russell in the Eastern Pacific who grew up in the Ark-La-Tex.

The photo above shows the Shreveport native as he stands the electronic warfare console operator supervisor watch aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer conducting routine operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Congrats to the former Southwood High School student!

We thank you for your service.
