Editor’s note: The Vail Veterans Program and the Vail Daily will highlight the service of an Eagle County veteran each month in Veteran Voices.
In the grand scheme of things, there are military families and there are Military Families. Justin Liffick, the deputy chief of police for the town of Vail, is from the latter with a long line of service adorning his family tree.
“Both my grandfathers served in World War II,” Liffick said. “My mom’s dad was in the Marine Corps and was part of the Pacific Campaign, so he was boots on the ground for the U.S. island-hopping campaign against Japan. My dad’s dad was in the Navy, also in the Pacific, also at the same time, supporting the Marines in those battles.”
