<i class="material-icons" data-template="memories-icon">stars</i><br/>Justin Michael Niotta, Air Force<br/><div class='remember-wall-long-description'>Master Sergeant Niotta has managed to spend the last twenty years enlisted in the reserves and have served multiple tours both stateside and abroad. These days he wears a military uniform Monday through Friday as a project manager. But for the first sixteen of my twenty years “in,” MSgt Nitta turned a wrench as a vehicle mechanic. One of many memorable service notes, he left Balad on his 27th birthday, November 3, 2004. While Master Sergeant Niotta's stay proved brief and happened so long ago, it still impacts his life to this day.

Victor was a great person, a true shipmate, and a considerate soul. His life was unjustly taken on 16October2012, and his murderer has been tried and judged guilty. He may no longer be with us, but in his young life on this earth he made a significant impact to remain in our memory.
