Army Vet Goes ‘Beyond Duty’ in Sharing His War Experience

By Shannon P. Meehan

UPPER DARBY — Today marks the end of Army Capt. Shannon Meehan’s military career.

The decorated Iraq veteran, who served 15 months overseas in 2006 and 2007, spent Wednesday morning talking to students at his alma mater.

Meehan, a 2001 Upper Darby High School graduate and four-year varsity wrestler who was named All-Delco three times and finished with 120 career wins while leading the Royals to four Central League crowns, shared his experiences with 500 students in the auditorium.

The 27-year-old Secane resident recently published a book, “Beyond Duty,” about military service.

I work in the government space, which has a change resistant culture. Many of the tenets of the Whuffie Factor are not part of the status quo of government culture, which is somewhat counter-intuitive because after all we are public servants and most agency’s stated mission is to improve society.

Any ideas on exactly how we can best help the refugees and other people you write about? Giving to the big charities simply isn't targeted enough. Is there an organization you can recommend?
