Those serving in the military (Active Duty, Reserve or National Guard) can be found in nearly every county in the state.  

This issue of Kentucky: By The Numbers is in conjunction with the Kentucky Extension Military Collaborative.  With funding from the UK Engage initiative, the Kentucky Extension Military Collaborative is designed to increase awareness of the University's military engagement across the Commonwealth through developing a multidisciplinary statewide collaborative.  For more information about the Kentucky Extension Military Collaborative, contact: Nichole Huff, PhD, CFLE, University of Kentucky.
