The Thin Red Line Sarah Dahl

Writer / Natalie Platt

Like many other people, Sara Dahl wasn’t quite sure what her career path would look like after finishing college. She was born and raised in southern Indiana and graduated from the University of Louisville with a B.S. in Exercise Physiology, and then moved to Florida. After a few years Dahl decided to move back to the Midwest, as she missed where she grew up and her family, and she returned to Indiana.

“I decided I needed a change,” Dahl says. “My last civilian job was really taking a toll on me. After coming home from Florida, I never really found my career path and decided it was the right time to join the military.”

And find her career path, she did.

“I had toyed with the idea of joining the military for many years since college, but didn’t join until I was 30,” she says. “I finally decided that if I’m going to join, I have to join now.”

At the time, the only person Dahl knew who had joined the military were two cousins and her brother. Dahl’s brother had been out of the military for many years at the time she decided to join, but what she didn’t know was that at the same time, he was also toying with the idea of rejoining. They’ve now been deployed twice together.

After extensive research on different service branches and the jobs each branch offers, Dahl set her sights on joining the National Guard. She became a 74D chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist.

“Two weeks after signing my paperwork, I was shipped to Fort Jackson,” she says. “Soon after, I was sent to Fort Leonard Wood for my MOS trading. I was enlisted for seven years. My last rank as an enlisted soldier was E6. After returning home from my second deployment, I made another decision on my career path and decided to become an officer.”

Dahl went through officer candidate school and then was sent to Fort Huachuca to become a military intelligence officer. After returning home from training, she was assigned to the 38th Infantry Division for her third deployment. This deployment is where Dahl met her husband, Blake.

“Serving in the military is truly what you make it,” she says. “I have worked full time for the military in some capacity for the last 13 years. There aren’t many other jobs that would allow me to have the experiences I’ve had. I have been very fortunate.”

Most recently, Dahl took another path in her military career, and left the Indiana National Guard to join the Air Force Reserve. She is currently the force support officer of the refueling wing at Grissom Air Reserve Base. Her squadron, the force support squadron,

oversees important functions that help Grissom run. Some functions include in and out processing, awards and evaluations, career development, education and training, military and family readiness, and lodging and food services.

Dahl and her husband are very involved in the community as well.

“My husband and I belong to many organizations,” she says. “We are members of the VFW, American Legion, Greentown Lions Club and Grissom Community Council.”

As Dahl reflects on Veterans Day, she feels the importance of serving her country.

“The pride I feel in serving is something that I can’t explain,” she says. “Typically my husband and I attend as many Veterans Day ceremonies as we can. We do multiple a day. We want to show as much support to the veterans of this community as they have shown us.”

“SERVING IN THE MILITARY IS TRULY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. I HAVE WORKED FULL TIME FOR THE MILITARY IN SOME CAPACITY FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS. THERE AREN’T MANY OTHER JOBS THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCES I’VE HAD. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE.”

In a large, bustling industrial complex where machines hum and production lines move seamlessly, a quiet, striking mural commands attention. This mural, dedicated to the veterans employed by Stellantis (formerly Chrysler), is more than just a piece of art on the wall; it’s a visual embodiment of respect, history and sacrifice. Created by Michael Moore, an 11-year employee of Stellantis, the mural serves as a powerful tribute to those who have served in the military and are now part of the workforce at Stellantis’ Kokomoarea plants.

The Veterans Tribute Wall stands tall within Stellantis’ Kokomo Engine Plant, offering a vibrant depiction of military life, complete with planes, ships, soldiers, and various symbols of different branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The mural honors the approximately 5,000 veterans employed by Stellantis, many of whom work in the Kokomo-area plants: the Kokomo Engine

MURAL OF REMEMBRANCE

VETERANS TRIBUTE WALL ADORNS KOKOMO ENGINE PLANT

Writer / Terry Mullins

Plant, Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant, and Kokomo Casting Plant. Michael Moore, with a degree in graphic design, took on the ambitious project of designing and painting the mural as a heartfelt tribute to veterans.

“Every picture in the mural tells a story,” Moore said, emphasizing the personal connections and narratives behind the artwork. This collaborative effort involved the contributions of multiple veterans, each sharing their experiences and memories to influence the mural’s design.

Among the most notable elements is the USS Forrestal, the Navy’s first supercarrier, which holds a significant place in U.S. naval history. Its inclusion in the mural is a nod to the veterans who served aboard the vessel, including fellow Kokomo Engine Plant employee Jeff Mallaber, adding depth and meaning to the artwork. Mallaber, along

with other veterans from the plant, provided Moore with inspiration. It not only represents all veterans, but is also a visual narrative of individual stories. Each image, from the aircraft carrier to the soldier’s silhouette, resonates with a specific veteran’s experience. The USS Forrestal, for example, symbolizes the Navy’s proud tradition, while the soldier in the foreground reminds onlookers of the boots-on-the-ground realities of war. There’s a balance between air, sea and land operations, capturing the full spectrum of military involvement in different terrains and environments.

In addition to the military vehicles and personnel, the mural proudly displays the seals of all the military branches, including an American flag that was flown at Camp Cathcart in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, during Operation Freedom Sentinel, donated by Mallaber. Above the imagery are the words, “In Honor of All Who

Served.” This dedication captures the essence of the mural, reminding every employee and visitor of the immense contributions and sacrifices made by veterans in defense of the country.

The mural also reflects Stellantis’ broader commitment to veterans through initiatives like the Stellantis Veterans Group (SVG), a Business Resource Group within the company. Established in 2016, the SVG has grown to include over 300 members, with a mission to support veterans and raise awareness about their unique challenges and contributions.

The SVG serves as a platform for veterans and their supporters, creating opportunities for networking and collaboration. The group also promotes a deeper understanding of veterans’ experiences by organizing events, educational programs and outreach initiatives. The SVG plays a crucial role in ensuring that veterans within the company feel recognized and supported, both as employees and as individuals who have served their country. One of the primary objectives of the SVG is to enhance the veteran culture within Stellantis. By celebrating the service and sacrifices of veterans, the group fosters a sense of pride and camaraderie among its members, creating a strong community within the company. This culture of recognition and support is evident in the mural, which

stands as a testament to the company’s commitment to honoring its veterans.

The Veterans Tribute Wall serves as more than just a memorial to those who have served. It’s a vivid reminder of the power of art to bridge gaps between corporate culture and personal experience. In a manufacturing environment, where the focus is typically on production, efficiency and engineering, a piece like this stands out, inviting reflection and fostering a sense of unity among employees. For the veterans who walk by the mural every day, it offers a space of recognition and gratitude. It’s a reminder that their service is not forgotten, and their experiences are valued. For non-veterans, it provides a glimpse into the sacrifices made by their colleagues, promoting greater awareness and understanding.

As Stellantis continues to employ thousands of veterans across its facilities, this mural will stand as a permanent tribute to their contributions, both in the military and in the workplace. The company’s commitment to veterans, as seen through the SVG and the Veterans Tribute Wall, reflects a broader culture of respect and recognition - one that honors the past while looking toward the future. In a world that often moves too fast to pause and reflect, the Veterans Tribute Wall offers a moment of stillness, inviting all who pass by to remember, honor, and be grateful for those who served.

VETERAN SPOTLIGHT CHUCK HOVEY

Writer / Julie Yates

This summer, World War II veteran Chuck Hovey raised $1,000 for veterans in need. To meet his goal, he set up a vegetable giveaway in the yard of the home of his son, Don, and daughter-in-law, Terri Sloan, whom he lives with in Tipton. Vegetables grown by his family and neighbors were offered for free, and donations to Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1152 in Kokomo were suggested. The story of his childhood makes it clear why he chose the VFW as the recipient of the funds he raised.

“Every day this summer I would go out at 9 and sit until I went in for lunch at 11 a.m.,” Hovey says. “Then I’d go back out until 5 p.m. Donations took off once Terri put it on the internet. Some people would take three tomatoes and give a $20 bill. Others might take eight tomatoes and only give $3, but still, that was $3 to give the VFW. There were several kinds of produce. On the table was cantaloupe, summer squash, four varieties of red tomatoes, two types of yellow, acid-free tomatoes, and five different types of peppers including mild and hot ones. What I did was because of how I was brought up.”

Hovey’s father served in World War I and saw combat in France. At that time the survival rate for soldiers behind the lines was very low and few survived. Somehow the senior Hovey made it back alive, and once home, he started a family. However, when Hovey was 2

years old his father died, leaving behind a widow and two other sons aged 3 and 1.

Since his father was a member of the VFW post in Peabody, Massachusetts, a request was made to the National VFW Home in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Permission was granted for Hovey, his mother and his two brothers to reside there. From the years of 1929 to 1945, as well vacations during his college years, Hovey grew up alongside other children who needed the care and help the home offered.

Established in January of 1925, the National VFW Home is now coming up on its 100-year anniversary. It was founded to carry out the VFW mission to “honor the dead by helping the living.” Initially it was just one frame farmhouse situated on 472 acres of land, gifted to the VFW by Michigan cattleman Corey Spencer.

Over the years a sprawling campus developed, which includes playgrounds, park areas and single family homes. Other additions included a community center, gymnasium and many more buildings. Still in use today, it has evolved to meet the changing needs of veteran and active-duty military families in today’s times.

“When we went, there were small, individual homes for each

state,” Hovey says. “The Massachusetts cottage was occupied, so we lived in the Michigan cottage. It had one empty bedroom for my mother. She worked in the laundry, mended clothes, substituted as the cook at the hospital and substituted as a maid for the manager of the home. Eventually she became the house mother for the Massachusetts cottage. All the kids called her mom, but she told us not to call her that because we had the privilege of calling her mother. The children maintained the grounds, did the vegetable gardening, worked in the orchards and milked the cows. When I was going into the 12th grade, anyone who wanted could have a pickle patch. We sold the produce to a pickle factory and the money we earned was put into an account for us.”

In 1945 Hovey left the home and moved to Chicago, where he took electrician and refrigeration courses. He joined the Navy, but his ship never left the U.S. Eventually he went to college on the G.I. Bill but returned to the VFW home to work during vacations.

“I am now a proud member of the VFW after I joined it a year ago,” he says. “I was never on foreign soil, but now they have opened it up to veterans who have served honorably during wartime. The VFW does a lot of community support. The support I got from the community while raising money for the VFW was great. I’m 97, ride an electric cart and I’m in fairly good health. I have a soft spot in my heart for the VFW. I’d like to try the same thing next year.”

AIR FORCE VETERAN PAUL WYMAN’S CAREER IS MARKED BY DEDICATION TO COMMUNITY

Writer / Julie Yates

Paul Wyman is a well-known figure in Kokomo. As president of The Wyman Group, a real estate agency, and a past Howard County commissioner, he is actively involved in giving back and developing the community. He is also a veteran who feels a great sense of pride having served our country.

While in the Air Force, he was stationed in Iceland for a year. He also served in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield, the first phase of the Gulf War. During that conflict, the role of the United States was to build up troops and defend Saudi Arabia after Iraq invaded Kuwait.

“Iceland is such a unique country,” he says. “Half of the year, the sun is out for only a few hours. During the other half, the sun shines every hour. The weather is different; it never gets very warm. The people there were great to work with. They understood the strategic importance of having a U.S. military presence there. Serving and representing the United States in Saudi Arabia was one of the most powerful and proudest moments of my life. It was an intense time in that country after Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, invaded Kuwait. There were lots of unknowns.”

military was at Grissom Air Reserve Base. When his time was done, he decided to

industry and made some real estate investments. Friends in the real estate business encouraged him, and 23 years ago he and his wife, Shelly, began The Wyman Group. It has grown to be one of the top real estate companies in central Indiana.

“I have enjoyed it immensely,” he says. “I get to work with the greatest agents, and I couldn’t be prouder of the staff and the way they help people achieve the dream of homeownership. Over the years technology has changed the industry, but we deliver a tremendous client experience. We stay up on the latest trends and meet the needs of today’s clients.”

Wyman is originally from the Pennsylvania/ New Jersey area. His last assignment in the

make Kokomo his home.

“I found a lot to like about Midwest living,” he says. “The pace is a bit slower; the people are very nice, the schools are good and there is low crime. It’s a great place to live and raise a family.”

He shares that soon after he moved to Kokomo, he served in the financial services

“People rely on us as realtors to help them navigate and achieve the American dream,” he adds. “We help them set up a plan and put it in place to keep that dream alive. The Wyman Group is very involved in the community, especially regarding economic development and supporting nonprofits. We have a corporate culture here where we believe we have a responsibility to make our community a better place.”

Currently Wyman serves on boards of nonprofits, and did so even when he was involved in local government. He retired as a Howard County commissioner roughly two years ago. In total, he spent 16 years in elected county government: four years on the Howard County Council and 12 years as

a commissioner.

“It was an incredible honor and opportunity to serve in a leadership role,” he says. “I’m proud of the accomplishments that will have a lasting impact on our community by improving the quality of life. Some of the achievements stemmed from working together with other leaders, such as building the new Kokomo YMCA, extension of the trail systems, approval for the hotel and conference center, and the development of the work release program. It’s a legacy I like to look back on and be proud of.”

After leaving public office, Wyman picked up an auctioneer’s license. Now he finds himself in demand for conducting real estate and charity auctions. Earlier this fall he conducted seven auctions within a two-week period. He reveals that most auctioneers bring their own special flair to an event, and he tries to bring some entertainment and humor when he does the big calling. He has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations and gets quite a few phone calls due to his skill.

Wyman is also involved in martial arts. He enjoys the discipline behind it, and is motivated by the concept of being able to protect himself, his family and friends.

Wyman’s parents still live in Pennsylvania and will soon be celebrating their 97th birthdays. Recently they reached the milestone of their 75th wedding anniversary. Wyman, Shelly and their college-aged children visit often.

When asked what he does in his free time now that his commissioner duties are over, he laughs. “There’s no such thing as more free time,” he says. “All my time is dedicated to family, business and nonprofits. All three together give me a full life. I would do it all again. I am fortunate and blessed.”

The Wyman Group is located at 1533 West Lincoln Road in Kokomo. Call them at 765-854-1234. Also visit thewymangroup. com and view them on Facebook, Instagram and X.

Army veteran Tim Miller graduated from Tipton High School in 1986 and joined the Army a few years later, hoping to find change and adventure. He was stationed in Germany and spent almost eight years in the service, visiting all 48 contiguous states, and places like Nova Scotia, France, Italy and Switzerland. After returning to Kokomo, Miller was hired at Chrysler, and just retired after a 30-year career.

But now it’s time for another change for Miller - and another career.

Some people say their best ideas come to them in the middle of the night. For Miller, it was after he fell off his roof and was recovering at home while on leave from work almost a decade ago.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, they say. And that’s how PuddlesB-Gone was born.

“My doctor wanted me to sleep in a chair sitting up,” Miller says. “Every time I got up, I noticed my socks would get wet. We had four large dogs at the time and our house was a swamp from the water bowljust water everywhere, all over the floors.

Does your dog constantly get water everywhere with their current feeding system?

We are a locally and veteran owned, patent-pending gravity watering system that helps eliminate mess around pet feeding stations! With 5 different colors, a matching feeder and adjustable stand, your pet will stay hydrated and healthy while your floors stay dry and clean!

WATER WONDER

PUDDLES-B-GONE GETS RID OF WATER MESSES PETS LEAVE BEHIND AFTER DRINKING

If you’ve ever had a dog or pet that made a huge mess around the water bowl, you understand.”

Miller thought that was just part of having large dogs. They’re sloppy drinkers and you fight it with towels, mats, rugs, and whatever else around the water bowl to contain the mess.

So, once Miller recovered from his injury, he ordered around 10 different pet water systems online. He tinkered and realized the problem was that his dogs were getting too much water in their mouths when drinking, with all the excess water running onto the

floor around the water bowl (and through the house).

“After experimenting, I came up with a design where the water level in the bowl never gets any deeper or more shallow than about the thickness of your finger,” Miller says. “It always stays at that level as your pet drinks, and they get less excessive water in their mouths are they drink, which eliminates excess water on the ground surrounding the bowl.”

Miller made five prototypes for testing, and they worked so well that no one he gave them to wanted to give them back. After a large search, Miller confirmed he had the only low-water-level gravity pet waterer in the world. He and his wife filed for a patent, then decided to put everything that they had into the business.

“I never intended to be a business owner,” he says. “It kind of happened by accident, and wet socks. It’s been an amazing ride and

we have a great product - hopefully the last pet waterer you’ll ever have to buy for your pet.”

Miller’s wife, Diana, and his daughter, Kaylyn, round out the Puddles-B-Gone team.

“Kaylyn is growing up with the business and I hope she will be in charge of it someday,” Miller says. “We’re a small company now, but I have aspirations to be on store shelves. We have sold over 1,000 waterers so far and it’s amazing to see the business grow right before my eyes. If you want to eliminate excessive water, and wet socks, we encourage you to try our waterer system.”

The waterer is extremely durable and comes in five colors with an adjustable stand and matching feeder. You can find the PuddlesB-Gone waterer at walmart.com and on puddlesbgone.com. Miller and his team can also be found at various festivals and at dog shows showcasing the product.
