Veteran Mikula’s service to our country is remarkable. SFC David Mikula retired in 2013, from the US Army after 16 years. An Airborne Infantryman, he spent 13 years in the 82nd Airborne Division. He served 5 combat tours, including Kosovo, Iraq twice, and Afghanistan twice. He was awarded two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge. I nominate Veteran Mikula for being the most resilient person I’ve ever known, that despite the impactful experiences he endured during his deployments, he brings the kindest, most caring and compassionate light this world has ever seen and needs more of.
