Ron Welch Biography

Ron Welch is one of the most popular and richest Military Personnel who was born on January 9, 1960 in New London, Connecticut, United States. Ron was born January 9, 1960 in New London (Connecticut) to Donald Lee Welch, and Marguerite Ann Welch( Hatfield). His family moved to East Lyme in Connecticut, where he attended East Lyme High School. He was an avid athlete in wrestling, football and crew. On July 2, 1983, he married Susan Jane Foley at Harkness Chapel on Connecticut College’s grounds. They had one son together. Susan was diagnosed in March 1995 with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. She died May 26, 1998.

Ron left active duty and joined the Connecticut National Guard, where he was Officer Candidate School. He was commissioned as Second Lieutenant in Infantry on August 11, 1984. He served as a rifle platoon leader and company commander in various positions within the Connecticut National Guard’s Infantry units. He was also an operations officer in the Combat Engineer Bn. Ron was a National Guard member and graduated from the Infantry Officer Basic Course and Master Fitness Trainer Course. He also completed the Infantry Officer Advanced Courses.

On December 11, 1992, during an intense winter storm, a dispatcher from the Fairfield, Connecticut fire department called the Stratford Armory for assistance evacuating residents. Then Captain Welch and four others, Sergeants First Class Roger G. Barr, Douglas E. Bell, Raymond C. Spry and Specialist Chi Tranh Chong, drove to the scene in a canvas covered military truck. They rescued 34 personnel, including a 94-year-old woman and students from nearby Fairfield University. The soldiers had to evacuate the vehicles, wade through chest high water of 42 degrees and carry the victims to the truck. While attempting to leave the flooded area, the truck stalled in the rising flood waters. The team was able to secure some small boats drifting in the water and used them to hand tow the victims to a waiting fire boat. Others were brought to a small dry piece of land where they were eventually rescued by helicopter.

Ron then married Leanne Patricia Briggs on October 10, 1999 at St. Mary’s Church in Lynn, Massachusetts. He and Leanne have a daughter, Katherine and a son, Ethan together.
