Who is Jeremy Amick, the man behind 60-something articles about veterans that have appeared almost weekly in the News Tribune?
A veteran himself, Amick served in the Army National Guard after graduating from Russellville High School in 1994.
He retired 11 years later, but was quickly offered a position in the equal employment opportunity office for the National Guard.
“Once you’re in the military, it’s kind of always in your blood,” Amick said.
