Our last recipient yesterday is Austin Schutz, USMC/USA. SSG Schutz enlisted in the Corps in Nov. 2012 as a tanker (1812) in an M1A1 Abrams Tank. He did two MEUs with 2/6 on The Oak Hill. In Oct. ‘20 Ssgt. Schutz transferred to the U.S. Army when the Marine Corps phased out the Abrams tanks. He jumped into the M1A2 as a 19K (also a tanker). He was discharged in Oct. ‘23.
That same month he began his career with Opelika Police Dept. and is currently assigned as a patrol officer with the uniform division.

“Jamie is exactly what you would expect him to be, being a former Marine. This man is professional and very passionate about what he does. Thank you again Jamie”
“I can never thank you enough for what you did for 2 Vets who just can’t believe that a stranger cared enough for them to be made to feel special. Bless you both and thank you.“
“I love the support for our military!! What a great way to show veterans we will always care about them!”
“This is truly an embodiment of how committed veterans are to service as they themselves are often the ones planting the flags for others. An inspiration for all of us on how we should give our own skills and treasures to benefit the greater needs of others.”
