MAYPORT, Fla. – Senior Chief Petty Officer Bryon Vosburg, a native of Hudsonville, Michigan, serves aboard one of the country’s most versatile combat ships, USS St. Louis, operating out of Mayport, Florida. Vosburg, a 2002 graduate of Hudsonville High School and a 2019 graduate of Liberty University, joined the Navy 21 years ago.
Today, Vosburg relies upon skills and values similar to those found in Hudsonville to succeed in the military. “Growing up in Hudsonville, I was taught the value of hard work and to never quit,” said Vosburg. “I also learned that everyone deserves respect and that people come first.” These lessons have helped Vosburg while serving in the Navy.
Serving in the Navy means Vosburg is part of a team that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on strengthening alliances, modernizing capabilities, increasing capacities and maintaining military readiness in support of the National Defense Strategy.
Vosburg is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible. “I would like to thank my parents, Mark and Dianne, for the love and support they provided me in my decision to join the Navy,” said Vosburg. “As a father now watching my son leave home to serve, as hard as that was, I am extremely proud of him.” “I’d like to recognize the crew of USS St. Louis for all of their hard work and dedication,” added Vosburg.
