Sutton Famoly
The Sutton siblings from Virginia, Ayrion, Andrea, and Adrion, have recently made history by becoming the first Black triplets to enlist in the Navy.
Inspired by their parents, who met while serving on the USS Arctic in 1999, the siblings have made enlisting in the Navy a family affair. Adrion Sutton, the youngest of the triplets, first expressed interest in joining the Navy in high school.
The Sutton triplets have always been curious about their parents’ experiences serving in the Navy and have been encouraged by their parents to pursue their dreams. Their father, Andre Sutton, recently reenlisted and said that his children inspired him.
The Suttons’ enlistment represents a legacy of bravery and service within their family.
