Michelle Sisco
Class of 1996
Army, 8 Years
I served with the 854th Engineer Battalion in Kingston, NY before I moved. After I moved to FL I was part of the 724th MP Battalion. I went to Iraq with them at Camp Bucca. From Febuary 2003 to January 2004. Our higher headquarters were from NY, NY which were the 800MP Brigade. That is why the camp is called Camp Bucca. Ronald Bucca which was a member of the 800MP BDE was also a firefighter when he was killed in 9-11.
