TEMPLE â Before Naval Aircrewman (Helicopter) 2nd Class Katherine Knox excelled as a Navy recruiter, she wore many hats: college graduate, business owner and even a CH-53 helicopter crew chief. Now, as the leading petty officer of Navy Recruiting Station (NRS) Temple, she uses her position to educate and inform others of Navy opportunities.
âI love being a recruiter because it provides me with a change of pace from being in a helicopter,â Knox said. âI do miss flying, but being a recruiter I have the opportunity to spread Navy awareness where there is little to no Navy presence.â
A native of Copperas Cove, Knox earned a Bachelor of Science from Concordia University in Austin in 2012 and enlisted into the Navy the following year. She began her career in Norfolk, Virginia, assigned to Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14 (HM-14), before transferring to the Naval Reserve as a recruiter through the Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Program in 2020.

Bono was awarded the inaugural George W. Bush Medal for Distinguished Leadership Thursday, with the former president honoring the U2 singer for his work in combatting the HIV/AIDS crisis and poverty in Africa.
Bush responded, The truth of the matter is, [PEPFAR] never would have made it out of Congress had you not been engaged. The first time I met you, you knew more statistics, like you were coming right out of the CIA.
Bush added, Here s the thing about Bono that people got to understand: I like to say he s a real deal. This is a guy who has got a huge heart, obviously a talent, but cares so much about the human condition that he spends an enormous amount of time and capital on saving lives.
