Keith Bennett

Keith joined the Air Force in 2022, serving as an Aerospace Ground Equipment technician. He said he was extremely proud to work on the ground power units for B-52s, providing lethal air power around the globe. In 2022, during his first year in the AF, he was hit and ran over by a truck; a situation he says “changed the whole direction” of his life. While it took him away from his primary job, he still maintains a positive mental mindset, evident in how he views recovery. His personal philosophy on recovery he says, “is all about resiliency, adaptability, and maintaining a positive mindset. After my accident, I faced significant physical and mental challenges, but I discovered a remarkable inner strength within myself. I embraced adaptive sports and redefined my goals, which has been crucial in my journey. I focus on keeping a good headspace and celebrating every achievement, no matter how small, because I believe mental health is just as important as physical recovery.”
