George Bryant Jr. proudly served in the Air Force for more than 12 years, dedicating himself to a cause greater than himself. Inspired by his father, George Bryant Sr., a Navy Veteran of World War II, the younger George embraced the values of service and sacrifice from an early age. He was born in 1959, in Brooklyn, New York, and would later follow the opportunity to follow in his father’s military footsteps.
