Military Tribute - PVT ANDREW UNTIET

Today's military tribute pays homage to Private Andrew Untiet of Waterford, WI. 

PRIVATE ANDREW UNTIET ..... WE SALUTE YOU !!

PVT ANDREW UNTIET

Private Andrew Untiet was born on April 2, 1991 in Port Washington, WI to Faith and Don Untiet.  He has two older sisters, Laura and Sara.  Andrew's parents divorced when he was five years old and he moved to Franklin, WI with his mom and sisters and then right before his freshman year in high school he moved to Waterford, WI, with his mom and sister, Sara.

Andrew has always been active, playing youth football, high school football, golf, driveway basketball with his sisters or simply riding his bike to a friend's home.  Whatever the case, Andrew was always moving.  The last two years of his high school  he also worked at a statewide grocery chain, Pick N Save. 


Andrew decided in his senior year of high school to go to Universal Technical Institute in Glendale Heights, IL, for auto/deisel mechanics instead of enlisting in the Army.  He did very well at school but could not find a job, so he decided to join the Army.  A few of his classmates from UTI joined him on this journey, as well.

His mom, Faith, step dad Kevin, father Don, and step mom Marna, are all very proud of his decision to serve his country.  Andrew follows in the footsteps of family members that have also served this great nation.  They include two uncles, one in the Army and the other in the Air Force, as well as both his grandfathers, who served in the Coast Guard. 

We are indebted to you Private Untiet for your selfless service to our country.  We will be praying for you and your family.  Godspeed, young hero, Godspeed.
