1st Lt. Marcus Abrams grew up on the Allegany Indian Reservation in western New York until lacrosse and a desire to serve his country brought him to the Air Force.
He is a member of the Mohawk of the Haudenosaunee, which is parent to six tribes or territories—often referred to as the Six Nation Iroquois Confederacy. The other nations are the Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora.
He’s spent the past few years ensuring command and control systems were fully functional for the warfighters, and is now looking to move back East as he takes a job in January at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts.
He said he’s excited to be moving back closer to his roots and exploring the Boston area, and just like here, he’ll continue to play intramural lacrosse.
“My parents are hard workers and demonstrate a work ethic that if you say you’re going to do something, then you do it. They’re always true to their word, and they’ve been big influences on my life. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had, for their sacrifices along the way and for them teaching me to be proud of our heritage. I’m happy to share that with others and how the Air Force has provided an avenue for me to do the work I enjoy doing.”
