Colonel Breen has consistently exhibited a high level of professionalism and initiative in his duties as United States Defence and Air Attaché to Canada. He was instrumental in providing key assistance to Canada’s Air Force as it introduced the CC177 Globemaster and as it planned to acquire a CC130J Hercules fleet. While his outstanding leadership significantly contributed to Canadian operations, his personal engagement with the military community also enhanced the exchange experience of American personnel living in Canada.
