FORT KNOX, Ky. – Members of the 2022 Fort Knox Tax Center team were recognized for their efforts at a ceremony April 20 to close out the year’s tax season.
The team was responsible for generating $2,575,527 in returns for the Fort Knox community, surpassing the previous year’s total. Garrison Commander Col. Lance O’Bryan and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. William Fogle addressed the team and handed out awards.
“Thank you for what you’ve done for the Soldiers, their dependents and retirees,” said O’Bryan. “Because of what you did, you saved them $338,709 in tax preparation fees, a 35% increase over last year.”
The team was comprised of Soldiers from units across Fort Knox. Installation Senior Enlisted Adviser Command Sgt. Maj. Jerimiah Gan also came to the ceremony to thank the team.
“On behalf of the [commanding general] and myself: job well done,” said Gan. “There are six major commands here on the installation, and seeing one team come together and be able to knock it out of the park is phenomenal.”
