Lance Cpl. Shannon M. Flaherty, a 23-year-old, CH-53 avionics technician with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 466, is a third-generation Marine. Fate, chance or a combination of both recently brought Flaherty and her father, Chief Warrant Officer 3 James M. Flaherty, together for a few days in an unlikely spot for a reunion, Al Asad, Iraq.
