Stapleford was named Veteran of the Year in 2023. He has two master's degrees, one in national security and strategic studies and one in business management. A lifetime advocate for veterans, he is actively involved in organizations such as Disabled American Veterans, Vietnam Veterans of America, the American Legion, and the Military Officers Association of America, the press release said.
