Adrian Evangelista, the new commander of the U.S. Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 in Okinawa, Japan, was one of the team leaders for the Tinian Stallion’s Flag Football Team when they won their fourth straight “All Commonwealth Flag Football Tournament” on Tinian. In photo, Adrian is kneeling, fourth left in the bottom row, with his teammates. Sen. Karl Nabors, the quarterback, is in the back row. “Adrian, after watching your dedication to excellence as a student and an athlete at Tinian High, we, your teachers, were confident that you could make it through the rigors of attending the United States Naval Academy. You have exceeded our expectations, and those of your family and friends on Tinian, and we are proud of you. We have no doubt that some day you will become Tinian’s first general. Keep up the good work.” — Uncle Don
