Schwab Founder and National Director of Veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, (VOIEF) grew up with a middle class family in the suburbs of St. Louis County graduating from Lindbergh High School. In 1986 he joined the United States Air Force where he was called in for the attack on the naval ship USS Stark, and seeing action in Panama during Operation Just Cause. In 1990, Kurt transferred to the Air Force Reserves then called to active duty for Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. In 2000, he retrained to become a C-130 Loadmaster. In 2005 Kurt and crew were held in South America, and deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom where he flew numerous combat missions with nearly 300 combat flying hours. Kurt's father, James L. Schwab, served in the Marines in the 1950's during the cold war. After leaving the Air Force in 2007, Kurt finds it difficult to adjust back to civilian lifestyle. Not knowing about the Veterans Administration system until 2009, he founded VOIEF which is dedicated to helping our Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan troops, veterans, and families with short term problems. Kurt stays very busy, and enjoys meeting new people and fellow comrades. The goal of this organization is to be a safe haven by providing service’s where they can talk with comrades who have had similar experiences and issues. VOIEF will not only help those who have already returned, but those who are yet to return.weniger sehen
