Hi, I'm Lt. General Jon Jensen. This week, I will transition to retirement as the Director of the Army National Guard. Cindy and I bid you a fond farewell.

With a remarkable career that began with Jefferson County Government in 1998 and an impressive 33 years of service in the U.S. Army and the Kentucky National Guard, Metro Government’s Andy Bates has set an unparalleled standard of dedication and excellence.
