Rodney Wyatt
Founder/ Executive Director U.S.M.C. 1972-1974 (M.O.S)...0811. Artillery 175-MM Gun Battery Army Guard-1994-2002. Combat Engineer--103rd Eng. Battalion. 12-B Rodney retired in February 2016 from the state of Pennsylvania as a Veterans Representative 1, where he provided services to our U.S. veterans. His position at the state limited the amount of assistance he could provide to those who served, so he founded Salute 2 Service in 2013 in an effort to bridge the gap between the limited services that the state provided and the need he saw in his community. He envisions Salute 2 Service as a one-stop-shop, providing an array of services and resources to our U.S. veterans under one umbrella. djwyatt1@comcast.net |
