Haitian earthquake survivor, aviator takes Army career to new heights

TEMPE, Ariz. -- In 2010, the most destructive earthquake in Haiti's history struck the Caribbean island, killing over 100,000 people and leaving approximately 1.5 million people homeless.

Sixteen miles from the 7.0 magnitude earthquake's epicenter, Spc. Carl Denis and his family, natives of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, were among the people suffering in the aftermath.

More than eight years later, he was one of four Soldiers in the entire 7th Infantry Division to receive this year's Green to Gold Scholarship, which will give him an officer commission in the U.S. Army upon college graduation.

"It was my own determination that helped me out and my initiative as well," said the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter repairer from the 2nd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment. "When I finally got the letter, it was pretty much like an impossible feat that came into reality."
