 In Memorium

AFEI notes with saddness the passing of Mike Breen, a good friend and staunch supporter.  Mike peacefully passed from this earth surrounded by family and friends at his home in Mechanicsville, Maryland at 7:40 p.m. on August 12, 2010. 

Mr. Breen faithfully served his country for 25 years in the U.S. Navy, enlisting in 1965 and retiring in 1990 with the rank of Senior Chief. After retirement, he pursued a career in business development holding positions with Xerox, Unisys, Raytheon, and Bearing Point. At the time of his passing, Mr. Breen was Senior Capture Manager with General Dynamics Information Technology.
