MEMBERS OF KSC WORKFORCE DEFEND COUNTRY ABROAD

Over 50 members of the Kennedy Space Center workforce have been
called to active duty to protect America overseas. The servicemen and
women represent many different divisions and employers at KSC,
including NASA, United Space Alliance, Boeing, Space Gateway Support,
as well as other NASA contractors. 
  
Thirty-one KSC employees have been called to active duty in the Air
Force, while 11 are currently serving in the US Army. The Coast Guard
and Navy have both called 3 members of KSC's workforce into service. 

"We will miss the dedicated and professional service provided by
these members of the KSC family, but respect their patriotism and
wish them God's Speed as they leave home to serve our Country," said
KSC Deputy director James Kennedy. 
 
The Kennedy Space Center Family extends their respect and
appreciation for the great personal sacrifice made by all men and
women fighting for freedom abroad.
