About Bill Bazzi
Bill Bazzi immigrated
from Lebanon with his family to the U.S. when he was 10 years old. They made
their home in Dearborn,
Michigan. Nine year after coming to the U.S., Bill joined the U.S. Marine Corps
in July 1984 at the age of 19. He completed boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit
Depot San Diego, CA, and immediately thereafter went to Military Police school
where he finished his four years of active
duty as Military Policeman.
Bill left the Marines
after four years of active duty in 1988 to pursue his college education. He
earned a Bachelor and a Master
of Aeronautical Engineering from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
Missing his service to
his country and to his Corps, Bill re-joined the Marine as a drilling reservist
in 1999, while at the same
time working for Ford Motor Corporation as a research engineer. Since joining
the reserves, Bill has been activated numerous times to active duty as a
Military Policeman.
Bill stays active with
the community by participating in many events such as charity, political,
fundraising events, and marches and
walks for raising money for cancer research. He was a team leader for over 200
Marines for the Combined Federal Campaign and is
currently participating in the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign in the
Dearborn/Detroit, Michigan areas.
