A Bay Area veteran is among six Americans whom President Joe Biden granted full pardons to on Friday, the penultimate day of 2022.
De Coito earned Southwest Asia Service Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal, among other awards, during his enlistment. The San Diego native repaired helicopters during Operation Desert Storm, according to a biography on his company's website. Biden pardoned four others who served time for low-level drug and alcohol offenses. The pardons included an Air Force veteran who was demoted for consuming alcohol and ecstasy as a 19-year-old, and another man who was rejected from enrolling in the U.S. Marine Corps after graduating high school because he pleaded guilty to one count of illegally selling whiskey.
