From the tender age of 18, Kevin Macias has dedicated his life to serving our nation with unwavering commitment. His mother, Ana Macias, holds immense pride and admiration for her son, whose journey has spanned across continents—from the historic landscapes of Italy to the strategic bases in Qatar, and from the rigorous training grounds at Fort Carson to Fort Leonard Wood. As one of the youngest to earn the title, Kevin excelled as a drill sergeant, where he honed his skills and embraced discipline that set him apart. Despite the distances, Kevin’s bond with his family remained strong; he consistently reached out to his parents and brother, sharing his milestones and accomplishments that never ceased to amaze. Thank you, Army Staff Sgt Kevin Macias, our KONO 101.1 Soldier Salute!
