Jennifer honors her hero for Military Monday this week. Her hero is her uncle, Gregg, who served in Coast Guard for 21 years. He wanted to join the Coast Guard right out of high school and he has been stationed all over.

Jennifer is renovating her house and she tells us that her uncle is helping her fix it up. She says, "Every time something goes wrong, he comes and helps me. He painted the whole thing by himself. So he's pretty much been a lifesaver."

Gregg also taught Jennifer how to drive and she said he is pretty much a big brother to her.

Congrats to Gregg as he receives  a $100 Tampa Premium Outlets gift card.

Every Monday we honor a member of the military in Tampa Bay. Do you have someone in your life that is or has been in the military? Someone that you admire, a relative, a friend? Whoever it is that you want to spotlight. We want to hear from you and you can nominate someone right now by doing so HERE. The nomination process takes about five minutes. Once you nominate someone we will be in touch with you to schedule a call with you.
