previously served. He is honored to carry
on that family tradition.
“My grandfather and uncle were in the
Navy and my father was in the Air Force,”
says Nacey. “They influenced me in that
the service was always an option and
taught discipline and hard work. They all
turned out to be great men and it inspired
me. I also love the Navy tradition, and
thought of being a sailor by seeing their
old photos.”
While serving in the Navy may present
various challenges, Daniel Nacey has
found many great rewards. He is proud
of successfully completing his first
deployment.

GRAD DANIEL NACEY
PROUDLY SERVES
HIS COUNTRY
A 2011 Greensburg Salem High School
graduate and Delmont native is serving our
country in the Navy, living on the coast of
Spain and participating in a critical NATO
ballistic missile defense (BMD) mission
while assigned to the guided missile
destroyer USS Donald Cook.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Daniel Nacey
is a fire controlman (aegis) aboard one
of the four advanced warships forward-
deployed to Rota, Spain, a small village
on the country’s southwest coast 65
miles south of the city of Seville. In
this position, he is responsible for the
maintenance and control of fire control
radars aboard the ship.
Nacey credits his success in the Navy
with lessons learned growing up in the
area. “I come from a blue-collar town
that taught me to be a hard worker,” he
says. “I also played football in school,
which improved my teamwork skills and
communication, which I carried into my
Naval career.”
The four destroyers are forward
deployed in Rota to fulfill the United
States’ phased commitment to NATO
BMD while also carrying out a wide
range of missions to support the security
of Europe.
Serving in the Navy is a continuing
tradition of military service for Nacey,
who has family members who have
