Cassin Young Cassin Young Stacy – Titusville, Florida

Cassin was named after his grandfather who had the nickname "Ted" after Teddy Roosevelt. And so it was with the young Cassin Stacy. Patriotism was a way of life in Ted’s family. In fact, several U.S. "Ships of the Line" have been named after family members. Ted is especially proud of his Grandfather (and namesake), Cassin Young, who received the Medal of Honor for action at Pearl Harbor and the Navy Cross at Guadacanal. The son of a Lieutenant Colonel in Army Intelligence, 'Ted' calls the world his childhood home.

Ted followed in the family’s footsteps by serving as a military intelligence officer attached to the 25th ARVN Division.  After 10 years in the Army, and 16 years as a civilian, Ted joined the Coast Guard. Since 1992, Ted has worked at the Cape Canaveral Coast Guard Station as the Chief Petty Officer working with space shuttle security support. When not at the Station, you can find Ted and his wife in Titusville or visiting their two grandchildren on the Florida coast.
