COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA, September 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- National Defense Consultants, LLC, has named retired U.S. Marine Colonel Steve Vitali chair of the company’s advisory council, effective Sept. 11, 2023, coincidentally the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

“It’s not only an honor to serve on such a prestigious council, but it’s an opportunity to help provide solid military analysis to media companies and other consumers, as well as the general public which often lacks a thorough, necessary understanding of the American military establishment,” said Vitali, a career USMC Infantry and reconnaissance officer, who commanded U.S. and foreign forces in Iraq and Afghanistan during both wars. “Through National Defense Consultants, clients and client companies will receive a variety of services from within a single-stop source and from numerous experts.”
