Service did not end for Quentin Kimble when he retired after 30 years as a Sergeant Major in the Texas Army National Guard. It simply took a new form.

Quentin began his journey with as a volunteer and now serves with the Central Texas Center for Development and Civic Engagement at the Austin VA Outpatient Clinic. For the past nine years, he has helped connect Veterans, families, caregivers, and survivors with programs, resources, and opportunities that improve lives.

From Veterans Stand Downs and benefits seminars to community outreach and youth programs, Quentin’s impact can be felt throughout Central Texas.

His story is a powerful reminder that VA volunteers do more than give their time. They continue a legacy of service that strengthens the lives of every day.

“My reason to get up every day is to continue serving our Veterans, spouses, dependents, caregivers, and survivors with the passion, care, and respect our nation owes them.”

Thank you, Quentin for continuing to answer the call and making a difference for those who served.
