“Flying over the track at the Indy 500 was truly an incredible experience. I was beaming with pride that the 38th Combat Aviation Brigade could execute this mission and represent the Indiana National Guard and the United States Army on such a public stage. Hearing the sound of the crowd from the cockpit as we flew around the track is a memory none of us will ever forget.”

“My faith, my family and the incredible people I get to work with truly inspire me. I love wearing the uniform every day, and being part of something so much bigger than myself is truly an honor.”
