Michael Lannon (1/8, CAAT)

Michael Lannon served as an 0352 originally with 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance (LAR) Battalion before being reassigned to 1st Battalion, 8th Marines (1/8) just as they were beginning their preparations for their 2021 deployment. Old friends and new challenges awaited Michael, but they were nothing compared to what he and his comrades faced when they finally arrived in Kabul.
