Petty Officer 2nd Class Danial Gilbert, a Peoria native, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to USS Mahan, a Navy destroyer operating out of Naval Station Norfolk.
Gilbert graduated from Raymond S. Kellis High School in 2024.
"Arizona taught me how to adapt and be quick-thinking," Gilbert said. "It also doesn't hurt to avoid crazy drivers."
Gilbert joined the Navy two years ago.
"I joined the Navy because I wanted to be a teacher when I finish with the Navy and I didn't want to acquire a massive educational debt to accomplish my goals," Gilbert said.
