Probably Telling George W and Barack Where to Go!<\/h2>\n

As the first African American Director of the Executive\u00a0 Residence and\u00a0 Chief Usher\u00a0 (he was number eight since 1857!) for four years\u00a0 2077 to 2011. Commanding a staff of nearly one hundred full-time employees and an equal number of contractors, he kept those two Presidents in line and the White House operating in an outstanding way.<\/p>\n

United States Coast Guard Service<\/h2>\n

Since 1970 when he joined the USCG until he retired in March 2007, Admiral Stephen W Rochon held\"\" various different responsibilities and commands in the United States Coast Guard the “First sea service”.\u00a0 With a love of history, he produced a video documentary honoring the late Alex Haley<\/a>, USCG (Retired) — renowned author of the famous book, \u201cRoots.\u201d\u00a0 The Admiral himself is writing a book about the all-black crew of the Pea Island Lifesaving Station<\/a> for their daring rescue in 1896.<\/p>\n

Why Admiral Stephen W Rochon?<\/h2>\n

Little did John Michael know that on Sunday 06 MAR 2022, he would have the encounter and meet Admiral\u00a0 Stephen W. Rochon during a trip to the local grocery store.\u00a0 After sharing some of the work each of us had done over the years. the Admiral honored John Michael with his coin.\u00a0 It also seems that the admiral went home to read a couple of new books he was kind enough to purchase … Thank you for your support Admiral!<\/p>\n
