FROM HARTSDALE TO THE PHILLIPINES - Westfair Communications

Lt. Frank Hagan, a native of Hartsdale, New York, serves the U.S. Navy aboard Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 30 located in San Diego, California, after having joined the Navy four years ago.

“My grandparents are from Poland and Ukraine,” said Hagan. “They came to America during the 1950s. They felt lucky to get here and have a successful life. I felt like serving in the military was a great way to pay it forward. I also thought serving in the Navy would offer an exciting life. The Navy also paid for my scholarship through Naval ROTC.”
