Mr. Engel is a caring man. He cares about his work and also his family. He said, “The best thing about being in the military was the commodity of the people you worked with and have trained with.

Another thing Mr. Engel said about being overseas was, “You’re always being trained to be ready to go to an armed conflict.” This is what impacted his family the most while he was gone overseas.
