lomats.

including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq he led multiple 
raids and reconnaissance missions and earned the Bronze Star. 
After retiring from the Navy as a Senior Chief Petty Officer, 
Tyrone Woods worked with the Department of State to protect 
American diplomats. 
(6) J. Christopher Stevens served for 21 years in the U.S. 
Foreign Service. He was serving as U.S. Ambassador to Libya 
and previously served twice in the country, as both Special 
Representative to the Libyan Transitional National Council 
and as the Deputy Chief of Mission. Earlier in his life, he 
also served as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English in 
Morocco. 
(7) Sean Smith served for 6 years in the U.S. Air Force. 
He attained the rank of Staff Sergeant and was awarded the 
Air Force Commendation Medal. After leaving the Air Force,

dad, Brussels, Pretoria, and The Hague.
