I am Linda Ann Cromwell, a veteran of the United States Army. I completed my education at Sayville High School in 1973 and enlisted in the Army in 1976, serving as a 43E Parachute Rigger.

During my service, I was granted a Top Secret Clearance and was assigned to the Army Military Intelligence Security Command in Washington, D.C.

I had the privilege of working at the Pentagon for the Army Discharge and Review Board under President Jimmy Carter. Currently, I am actively involved in various veterans’ organizations and serve as the seamstress for the Nam Knights Motorcycle Club in Florida.

Additionally, I participated in the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., and have been recognized by the Florida Panthers Hockey Group as a “Hero Among Us” on two occasions.

I am also honored as a Hometown Hero, with my photograph displayed on a banner in my community, and my name is inscribed on the glass panels at our Veterans Park.
