Hello readers and welcome to another edition of Around Town!
Serving Our Country
Seaman Lyberria Brown, a borough native who was a 2010 graduate of Validus Preparatory Academy, is serving aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt.
She recently returned from a seven-month deployment.
According to the U.S. Navy, Brown credits a lot of her success in the service to lessons she learned growing up here in the borough.
Whatever is going on around you, it is important to stay motivated, she said.
As a U.S. Navy seaman, she is responsible for driving and painting the ship, and standing watch.
