A Croton-on-Hudson native is serving in the U.S. Marine Corps alongside naval aviators who learn the skills they need to fly missions around the world.

Maj. Brendan O’Donnell, a 2007 Croton-Harmon High School graduate, joined the Marine Corps 11 years ago.

“I grew up in the shadow of 9/11, and I wanted to fight back,” said O’Donnell. “That’s why I joined the military. I learned the value of hard work and humility from my hometown. Taking care of our people was very important."
