My a mer i c a n h er o
S gt . E r ic V an D unk
Sgt. Eric Van Dunk, was born in
Germany, raised in the USA. After
graduating High school he joined
the US Army where he still
serves his country proudly.
Growing up he was a bit of a
character always cracking jokes
and pulling pranks on us. He's
always been a go get-ter and
won't accept no for an answer
type of guy. I remember when
the 911 attacks took place he
was fearless ready to go and
fight for his country. I remember
our family being worried sick
about him being overseas.
However every time we would
talk to Eric he was in good spirits
making us laugh. Early this
month he was deployed to Africa
for 9 months. I'm a lttle bit
jealous he got there before me
lol. I'm praying for my little
brother and his soldier's to have
a safe return back to the states.
I'm not worried about him this
time though, I'm just proud of
him for living his dreams
selflessly helping others.
