Al Chiaberta is a lifelong resident of Hubbard. Two months after graduating from Ursuline High School in 1970, Al joined The United States Air Force.  He chose this branch because he had such a love of flying.  He was inducted in Cleveland, Ohio with an MOS of 81150.  His boot camp experience took place at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.  He received training as Security Police, as well as, a Parachute Rigger.  When it was completed he was sent overseas to Aviano, Italy for a three year period. 

Al actively served in the Air Force for 32 years.  He was discharged in 2006 at the rank of Master Sergeant from the Youngstown Air Reserve Station.  During his time he was awarded the following honors: the United States Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, Military Merit Medal, Armed Forces Air Medal, and the Humanitarian Service Medal.

Since retired from the military, Mr. Chiaberta has pursued a career as a carpenter.  In 1990, Al became a lifetime member of VFW Post 3767.  He joined because his father was a member and he saw the good they afforded other veterans and the community.
