During his time in service, Sean was deployed to Croatia and Bosnia as a part of the UN SFOR and IFOR missions. “My time in the US Army informs everything I do. I could not be prouder to stand with these men and women who share that common bond regardless of where they come from” reflected Casey.

Rotorcorp presented HAI President and CEO Mathew Zuccaro with a company branded “Challenge Coin”  at the event.  A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion with military origins, bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by members.
