Robert Shares His Story

Did you know that service members are often faced with do-or-die decisions that will rest with them for a lifetime? The high-stress situations that members face, including death, leave marks that cannot be seen. Recently, the Coast Guard has increased their services to support servicemen and servicewomen. While these new policies are in place, resources can be lagging for veterans and their families who need it NOW.
Rob was born to a military family on January 9, 1976. His dad, Rafael Luna was a career military man, serving in the Marine Corps for 30 years. Rafael is married to Margarita Luna, and they have three children: Robert, Rafael Jr., and Marilyn (Hernandez).

Rob was born to a military family on January 9, 1976. His dad, Rafael Luna was a career military man, serving in the Marine Corps for 30 years. Rafael is married to Margarita Luna, and they have three children: Robert, Rafael Jr., and Marilyn (Hernandez).
As a military family, travel became routine. Rob was raised in Long Island, New York, Beaufort, South Carolina, Irvine, California, and Kailua, Hawaii. His hometown is in Weaver, Alabama, where he will be starting this amazing journey.
Rob joined the Coast Guard in April of 1996. While serving, he has lived on Long Island, as well Elizabeth City, North Carolina, Manama, Bahrain, Alexandria, Virginia, and retired out of Juneau, Alaska. He is currently residing in Alabama.
The Coast Guard afforded numerous opportunities for growth and development. Rob earned his dental technician certificate, as well as certificates in Telecommunications, Search and Rescue Coordination, and Key Management Infrastructure. Robert was happy to retire as Chief Petty Officer after 28 years of service.
Currently, Robert is a member of the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), DAV (Disabled American Veterans Group), and CPOA (Chief Petty Officers Association).

There are so many avenues that can be taken to make a difference- but for verterans and active service members and their families- purpose is at the forefront. Walking across America not only gives Rob purpose in his mission to help his fellow veterans, but it is an invitation for anyone that is looking for purpose to join him- walk a short jaunt, take a longer section, start your own walking club- whatever the reason- having purpose is at the forefront of demonstrating commitment.
Please consider giving to Rob and the Coast Guard Foundation.
