SSG Marshall Diaz, of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington will be the proud owner of a new, custom deck designed and built by Western Washington Chapter of NADRA members and constructed of donated materials.

SSG Diaz also takes time to serve his local community by volunteering with the local Boy Scout Troops and still sets time to volunteer at a local Veteran’s home.
On his application SSG Diaz noted “When I was given the option to get out of the Army, I chose the only option for me, and that is to continue to serve my country. Although my rehabilitation is an ongoing process, I hold my head up with pride for there is no other country in this world that I would rather live in, then the United States of America.”
Western Washington Chapter members called to congratulate SSG Marshall Diaz on Wednesday November 10, 2010. He is the first to receive a deck on the west coast from this project. Local NADRA members will meet with SSG Diaz at his home next week to go over the deck plans.
