DAVENPORT - Petty Officer 3rd Class Ozius Harden, a native of Davenport, Washington, serves the U.S. Navy at Amphibious Construction Battalion (ACB) 1 operating out of San Diego, California.

Harden graduated from Reardan High School in 2019.

The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Davenport.

"My dad was a brick mason and general contractor and that is where I was first introduced to construction," Harden said. "Those life skills have transferred well into being a Seabee."

Harden joined the Navy 5 1/2 years ago. Today, Harden serves as a utilitiesman.
