WKU honored Command Sergeant Major John Brownell at a luncheon on Aug. 2 at the Knicely Conference Center. Brownell is the Kinesiology, Recreation and Sport (KRS) graduate student whose 6th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division (6-4 Cav) from Fort Knox was adopted by the department throughout their deployment to Afghanistan. Below: Brownell presented WKU President Gary Ransdell and Dr. Bruce Larson, interim KRS department head, with a U.S. flag that flew over their camp on July 4. Members of the KRS department, Extended Learning & Outreach, ALIVE Center and WKU faculty and staff have shown their support for Brownell’s unit by sending care packages to them since being deployed in January.
