 I'm Hospital Corpsman First Class Evan Zilliach stationed at Naval Medicine, Education and Training Center in Bethesda, Maryland. I've served with the Marines and Hospitals numerous times throughout my naval career. I serve because of heritage and tradition. Every morning I wake up and put on the uniform and I represent three generations of Navy sailors. My grandfather served during World War II on ships. My father served as an aviation electronics mate during Vietnam and now I serve as a hospital corpsman for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
