Indiana DDRA CPT Michael Goin and SSG Michelle Quarles, both Stay on Track instructors, were celebrated at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 16th and 17th in honor of Armed Forces Day. Along with a host of community activities, the event included a Counterdrug display outlining the efforts of the Indiana National Guard. Senator Luger (http://lugar.senate.gov/), who said he was aware of the Stay on Track program, stopped by the booth. He took time to shake hands with CPT Goin, and to look over the materials.
“Overall the display was a success”, reported CPT Goin. “Many adults did not understand or know the National Guard actually worked with youths in the community in so many ways. They were pleased to know that the National Guard worked in the community and believed Stay on Track was a great program.” He received comments from the attendees like, “Keep up the good work” and “We need programs like this”.
NCPRS would like to thank General Goodwin, LTC Weikel, CPT Goin, and Richard Lunghuhn, Director of Marketing at IMS, for working with us to help broaden the horizon for the Indianapolis National Guard Stay on Track program. Special thanks to IMS Productions for interviewing CPT Goin during this very special event and broadcasting the interview on the infield monitors for race fans, community officials, and military supporters to view. IMS also donated over 2,000 flip books to the Indiana Guard to distribute to Stay on Track students this year.
