Navy Gold Star Coordinator Support

The essence and impact of human beings are easier felt and often better understood after passing. The state of mind experienced when they are no longer in our midst renders life unintelligible and creates long term conflict with our emotions and, ultimately, in the lasting mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing of us, the families we raise and nurture as well as in the manner we enjoy our present way of life as we aim to protect existing and future generations at all costs. Why? Because the sacrifice made is worth it!! 

For his absence to be bearable and available to our next generation, we must consciously continue training and growing leaders with integrity and substance. Leaders who possess unwavering empathy for others in respectful and fair ways. Leaders with unconventional resourcefulness and collective vision to serve others. And above all, leaders with uncompromising conviction and courage to accomplish a mission regardless of its complexity, magnitude and overall difficulty.

Bartos joined the German Air Force right after his 18th birthday, and soon deployed to Holloman AFB, NM.  Never did we think he´d be stationed in the USA, nor that he'd remain there.  After leaving the GAF, he served in the US Navy, and made America his adopted country. He was an exceptional person in so many aspects; a beloved son of whom his parents are incredibly proud, my little brother whom i dearly love and to whom i always looked up, a father who loved his little boy beyond imagination, a valued friend, always there when needed, and he was a dedicated military member who served with steadfast pride, and deep care for his Navy family. He was the funniest person to be around, but he would always speak his mind and have the backs of those he loved. Fair winds and following seas, Sailor – You´re missed by many!
