"Hi, I'm Paul Fitsik III, USA (Ret) 57 a former resident of Rome NY. I now reside in Yelm WA. I joined the US Army as an Indirect fire Infantryman in 1988. Participated in the Gulf War. In 1996 selected to serve in US Army Special Operations Command at Ft. Bragg, NC. After September 11, 2001, deployed to Afghanistan. In 2003, deployed multiple times to Iraq.

I am married; my wife Sooze and I have one daughter Zofia Carrie. I'm currently employed by the US Army at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA. I am a lifelong Roman Catholic. My lineage goes back to Polish nobility recorded as far back as 1265, and Ukrainian Cossacks. My hobbies include the outdoors, tactical shooting, military history, camping, American Revolution and Medieval arms and armor. I'm honored to start my journey with OMSDT Knights Templar. Thank you and God bless."
