Today we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect our freedoms.
We are especially proud to recognize our own team member, Kyle King, for his dedicated service in the U.S. military. Your commitment, discipline, and leadership carry through in everything you do — both in uniform and on the job.
To all veterans — we thank you for your courage, your service, and your continued contributions to our communities.
Kyle King served honorably in the United States Army from 2014 to 2022, dedicating eight years of service to the defense of the nation as a proud member of the 10th Mountain Division and several other distinguished units. Throughout his career, King earned a reputation for exceptional leadership, adaptability, and professionalism in both combat and garrison environments.
King deployed twice to Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. His first deployment in 2014 was combat-directed, supporting active operations against ISIS. During this tour, he contributed directly to mission ex*****on and coordination in high-tempo, hostile environments, playing a key role in the success of coalition objectives and the protection of U.S. and partner forces.
His second deployment, in 2020, brought him to Al-Asad Air Base, where he took on a vital role in base defense and force protection operations. There, King supervised and managed the Entry Control Point (ECP), ensuring the security and accountability of all personnel and vehicles entering and exiting the installation. He also oversaw patrol operations in response to frequent indirect fire incidents, maintaining readiness, composure, and morale among soldiers under his direction.
Over the course of his service, King demonstrated unwavering commitment to mission success and soldier welfare. His professionalism and tactical expertise earned him multiple decorations and qualifications, including the Meritorious Service Medal, Expert Infantry Badge, Ranger Tab, and Expert Marksmanship Badge, among others.
Kyle King concluded his active-duty service in 2022, leaving behind a record of excellence and a legacy of leadership that reflects the highest ideals of the U.S. Army — loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. Today, he continues to embody those values beyond the uniform, carrying forward the discipline, teamwork, and resilience forged through years of service to his country.
