KONO Soldier Salute - Private First Class Joseph Ortiz, UCMC

The youngest of three boys, Private Ortiz decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and enlist in the Marine Corps. As a child, he always enjoyed pretending to be a police officer, with a toy gun in a holster, a set of handcuffs and a badge. His family always knew this would be his career path but never imagined him becoming a military police officer. Private Ortiz, your family is so proud of you for not only wanting to serve your community, but your country as well, and KONO thanks you for your service!
