A native of Philadelphia, Wyszynski is married to the former Ivy Bohensky of Dushore, Pa., and has two children, Levi and Eve.
“This squadron in front of you has seen some of the toughest fighting, in some of the hardest terrain in Afghanistan. They have a storied history and close bond among their soldiers,” said Col. Brian Pearl, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team commander. “They wear their Stetsons proudly, and they never fail any mission assigned. Lead them well and take care of them.”
“I am honored and humbled to be taking command of your great squadron full of American heroes past and present that has, and continues to distinguish itself on America’s battlefields,” Wyszynski said.
