Brett Kast Middle East

Article by Brett Kast;

It’s hard to find another sporting event so rooted in American tradition as the Indianapolis 500. It’s a tradition that wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for those who protect it.

“I just wanted to be of service, service to my country,” said Kenneth Fodrie, a Medical Readiness NCO for the 38th Infantry Division of the Indiana National Guard.

Fodrie is a Hoosier, born and raised. He enlisted in the Indiana National Guard right after high school at the age of 17. Now more than 20 years later, he’s a married father of two boys getting ready for his third deployment to the Middle East.

“You don’t want to leave behind what you are leaving behind, but you’re making the world a better place for your family,” Fodrie said. “You just hold on to that.”

Fodrie is just one of roughly 600 men and women from the Indiana National Guard that are packing their bags, leaving home for about nine months.

”It’s going to be hard, especially because I was just gone for six months, said Kaitlynn Schlitt, a fueler with the 38th Infantry who just finished her training in October. “To turn around and go back for another long time… it’s going to be hard for them (family).”

Before these soldiers leave, they’ll be making a stop on the infield at the Indy 500. Hence, for the first time in the race’s history, a departure ceremony will be held in front of the entire crowd.

Brett Kast Military

Article by Brett Kast;

As an instructor at My Computer Career, Anthony Queen teaches hundreds of people the ins and outs of IT, and about a quarter of his students are veterans.

“I decided to become an artillery fire finder radar operator,” said Army veteran Robert Felvus.

Felvus spent a year in Afghanistan. While there, he struggled with his mental health, and when he returned, he was lost.

“After leaving the military I had lost my identity,” Felvus said. “I didn’t feel like I was anybody or anybody important.”

The VA suggested he check out a program at MyComputerCareer, where many veterans found success–including Queen himself.

“You feel kinda lost, like a goldfish in the ocean,” Queen said of his immediate transition from military service.

After spending five years in the Marine Corps, Queen’s move to civilian life was difficult. Therefore, he went from a strict, detail-oriented lifestyle to having to fend for himself without any certifications.
