Local veteran loves serving his country

EVANSTON — “I joined combat arms at a time of war to do my job,” says Tyrel Dean, and Iraq-war veteran and current Army reservist. “I love what I do. I probably won’t get out after twenty years. I just love it; training troops, the camaraderie, shooting guns, everything. There isn’t a part of the military I hate. And I’ve gotten to see more of the world than most people.”
