During the 2023 Super Bowl, National Anthem performance three Navy tactical squadrons will conduct a unified flyover. Petty Officer 2nd Class Jared Sharp, a native of Cleveland, is one of the sailors maintaining the aircraft for Strike Fighter Squadron 122.

 

Growing up in Cleveland, Sharp attended Walker Valley High School and graduated in 2006. 

 

Sharp said skills and values similar to those found in Cleveland are important to succeed in the military.

 

“My hometown taught me what a lot of other’s hometowns teach them, that I needed to leave in order to provide valuable knowledge back to my people back home. I joined the Navy to show the youth in my hometown the importance of service, and the importance of getting out and seeing the world.” 

 

Today, Sharp serves as an aviation structural mechanic for safety equipment.
