Veterans' Memorial News

Proud Navy veteran still serving my country by transporting America’s goods on my back from border to border and coast to coast!

I enjoyed being in the USMC from Oct 2nd 1984 to 1988. Was injured a lot and applied for disability after getting out. Got 10% and was given a full ride to college and graduated from ASU with a small business degree. I am excited to work with more people and networks to help our military people who are in need now. The VA must get a lot better and we can deal with PTSD a lot more soon.

SDVOSB is 100% veteran owned and family run business, led by owner and CEO, Harrison James Kendall (U.S. Army - Operation Enduring Freedom, Forward Operating Base Salerno, Afghanistan, now 100% disabled combat veteran, verified by the VA).

He has not only hired Service-Disabled Veterans from the conflicts in Vietnam, Iraq, and Post 911, but he has supported them through the COVID-19 pandemic.

No story, just a Marine and his brothers! Semper Fidelis

I'm a traditional servicemember, almost everyone on my Dad's side served in one branchanother. I used to tease Dad because I outranked him at our EAOS rates. I was a nuke and conventional electrician, although not a very good one. I've always been better at paper-pushing than wire-biting.

My wife’s name is Karen Nicol-Haukeli MM, BSN, RN, Marine Corps Brat, and now Marine Corps Wife Ret. Aka: DOC Hawk, and I am MSgt Dale J Haukeli USMC Ret. Together, we are Screaming Hawks Customs & Classics. We are building a 1 off fully custom 1982 C10 to be auctioned off with 100% of the profits going to a veteran charity. Why? For me the reason is personal, I spent a lifetime operating/maintaining military vehicles and equipment, and training Marines to do it in some of the worst environments imaginable. Hone their skills to ensure their equipment could always bring them home, even when home was just a Forward Operating Base in some temporary corner of the world. Many of my friends and family that I thought returned, actually have not. I prepared them to go and survive but not how to come home and survive. Frankly I was lost for a little myself upon retirement, my boys went back and I went home. I have convoyed my Marines from their families to Fiddler’s Green and beyond in every vehicle creation imaginable. I am now back from my inner emotion convoy to find peace, at least that’s the vocabulary I have to describe it now. I have always found the best way that I can serve those who have sacrificed, I will not stop now. This project is important to me because supporting and giving back to others who are making the sacrifice for me now is important. “Here am I send me” Isaiah 6:8 Come see us and my video at Screaminghawks.com scroll down to the bottom for my video.

I was infantry with 1/6 alpha company deployed to Afghanistan twice. Once in Mariah and the other in the Sangin valley.
