7 TOPEKA, Kan. – The United States Army Training and Doctrine Command selected Sgt. Di Nong, a recruiter in the Wichita area for the Kansas Army National Guard’s Recruiting and Retention Command, as the January 2021 Hero of the Month. Gen. Paul Funk, TRADOC commander, established the recognition as a way to reward extraordinary contributions of individuals from across active duty, National Guard, and reserve components.
Although Nong has only been a recruiter for one year, he has already excelled in the position. In the first three months of fiscal year 2020, Sgt. Nong enlisted 10 Soldiers, a number that puts him in the lead for statewide accessions. He has since enlisted three more individuals.
