From Boots to Books – A Veteran’s Journey to the Classroom

Ken Heitger is an Army veteran who's now on a new mission — becoming a school teacher. After years of military service, he's traded camouflage for college textbooks and is preparing to make a lasting impact in the classroom.

We talk about the transition from military to student life, the challenges of starting over, and how military discipline and leadership are shaping his approach to education. It’s an honest, inspiring look at life after service and the powerful calling to teach the next generation.

Whether you're a veteran, an educator, or someone in the middle of a big life shift, this story will remind you that the mission doesn't end, it evolves.
