DelawareOnline ran an article on my uncle George, who has retired after 22 years as a Chaplain in the Delaware Air National Guard.
This fall the 166th Airlift Wing in New Castle recognized Brubaker for his service since 1985. Brubaker, 60, has retired from the Guard, though he continues as priest at St. John the Apostle in Milford and St. Bernadette in Harrington.
…
Articulate and soft-spoken, Brubaker struck some as an unlikely military man…But his unassuming manner served Brubaker well in the military. It made him approachable, says Master Sgt. Stephen W. Prasser, a chaplain’s assistant.
His father, the subject of this blog, is another unlikely military man, at least in my opinion. While I don’t really know the details of his time in the service (and maybe the elder Brubakers can shed some light for us here…), I do know he had the opportunity to design a logo for his unit, submit artwork to a publication, and paint at least one mural for a building in Santa Monica, while stationed there.
So they both were able to pursue their passion and bring some extra positivity to the military experience in times of war.
Well done.
