Hartford native Jordan Daniel Lueth enlisted in the SD Air National Guard in 2015. He was deployed to Afghanistan in 2018 for three months and Savannah, Georgia for three months as well. He is currently stationed in Sioux Falls as a Staff Sergeant and works as a Crew Chief on F-16 fighter jets. "

“I joined the military to be a part of something that is bigger than myself. From when I was a very young age, I always knew I had a passion for hearing stories about military veterans and operations that have taken place over my lifetime. I knew I wanted to be a part of the military to help serve our country. The Air Guard was something I could do to help contribute, while also completing my civilian goals of completing a bachelor’s degree at SDSU,” said Staff Sergeant Lueth.
