The Leadership and Service of a Local Coast Guard Hero

This citation from President George W. Bush, recognized the heroic Coast Guard efforts of Nathan B. "Nate" Bruckenthal. A little over 20 years ago, this local boy, who looked like the "all-american" kid was killed defending the United States during the War on Terror in Iraq. Nate was born on July 17th, 1979, and for several of his younger years, he grew up Stony Brook. With his mom, Nate lived in a military family, and he moved to different bases in Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Nate enjoyed playing football, serving as a volunteer firefighter, and was a member of the Navy Junior ROTC in Virginia at Herndon High School. Returning to Long Island, Nate joined the Coast Guard in 1998, where he was first stationed in Montauk, NY. While he expected to become a police officer like his father or a firefighter, Nate thrived in the Coast Guard through different jobs and deployments.
