In honor of Veterans Day , we proudly recognize three AHL team members whose service and sacrifice remind us of the freedoms we cherish every day. Patrick Leffard U.S. Army (10 years) Retail Operations Specialist Patrick proudly served in the U.S. Army for 10 years, stationed at several locations, including Fort Campbell and Fort Bragg, and completing three deployments to Iraq. From an early age, Patrick felt a strong connection to the military, his grandfather served in World War II, and his own fascination with the stories of service and courage only grew stronger over time. Drawn to the values of discipline, teamwork, and purpose, he followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and made his own mark through years of dedication and sacrifice. His commitment to serving others and protecting our nation stands as a true reflection of the strength and character we honor this Veterans Day.
Peter Feres U.S. Navy (1990–1998) National Account Executive Michigan Office
Peter began his service in the U.S. Navy shortly after radioman school, where his first duty station took him to Subic Bay, Philippines, followed by a WestPac ship tour. He joined the military seeking adventure and the chance to better his life, and indeed, the world became his classroom. One unforgettable memory from his time in service was the incredible moment when a volcanic eruption and a hurricane struck simultaneously while he was stationed in the Philippines, a powerful reminder of nature’s unpredictability and the resilience demanded of those in uniform. Peter says he still has a photo from the day he graduated boot camp, a reminder of where his journey began and the strength it took to serve.
