As part of a special project, Tech Ed students Evan Rugg, Jackson Doyle, and Mason Bender created custom pens to honor our Veterans. These gifts were presented during our Veterans Day program yesterday in appreciation of their service.
Today, our school came together to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Our Veteran's Day program was a special time of reflection, gratitude, and unity.
To our veterans, we thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Our guest speaker today was Command Chief Master Sergeant Paul D. Moreau, USAF (Ret.)
Command Chief Master Sergeant Paul D. Moreau, U.S. Air Force retired, grew up in the Boston area and graduated from high school in Medford, Massachusetts. After retiring from the Air Force in 2009 he moved to Somerset with his wife Lorraine, who is also a retired U.S. Air Force non-commissioned officer. They have two sons. Their oldest son, Paul P. Moreau, is an active-duty LTC in the U.S. Marine Corps, and their youngest son, John V. Moreau, also served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Chief Master Sergeant Moreau served his country with great distinction from 1979 to 2009 in the Intelligence career field, rising to the rank earned by only the top 1% of the entire enlisted force. During his three decades of service he held a variety of leadership positions to include Command Chief of the 17th Training Wing in Texas, Senior Enlisted Leader to the National Security Agency/Central Security Service Representative and Chief, Special United States Liaison Advisor in South Korea, an Air Force Specialty Manager on the Air Staff in the Pentagon for two Air Force specialty codes, and an Operations Superintendent-Special Support Activity at the National Security Agency. He participated in several major military operations and contingencies including deployments to support Operation DENY FLIGHT, the USS Cole incident and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. His career culminated as the Command Chief Master Sergeant of 2nd Air Force at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi where he was responsible for the welfare, development, and readiness of over 225,000 Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and foreign students annually.
His awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, Defense Meritorious Service Medal (three times) and Meritorious Service Medal (four times). Chief Master Sergeant Moreau’s professional military education includes all levels of Non-Commissioned Officer and Intelligence schools, the Center for Creative Leadership, and Keystone, the Command Senior Enlisted Leader school held at National Defense University. His civilian education includes an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science in Communications Applications Technology, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Liberal Studies from Excelsior College, New York, and a Master of Science Degree in Human Services from Capella University.
Since his retirement, he has served as a Junior ROTC Leadership Instructor at Somerset High School, and he is active in the Somerset Rotary Club. He is currently a Residential Counselor at UPMC, Western Behavioral Health at Twin Lakes in Somerset. He also founded Sentinel Leadership Solutions, LLC
