My son-in-law, Seth Demerly, Mayville class of 2013, joined the military 6 years ago after going through so many obstacles to get in. He has crushed it and proven to them what he’s made of. He started out being a combat medic to now following a dream of flying the aircrafts . He went from a Staff Sergeant to currently being a Warrant Officer. I just wanted to share how proud I am of this kid for the sacrifices he and my daughter make for our country . ~Melissa Dewitt Hayward - '88
