For 12 hours a day, he is D.C. National Guard Sgt. Jacob Kohut, one of more than 20,000 National Guard members in the nation s capitol who will provide security ahead of President-elect Joe Biden s inauguration on Wednesday.
For a few hours each morning on Zoom in his Humvee, he is Dr. Kohut, an elementary and middle school music teacher in Virginia.
Kohut is determined not to let his reserve duty keep him from serving his students. During this time, especially during the pandemic when things have been so turbulent and uncertain, if I can provide a little bit of stability, I m all in, Kohut told NBC News s Gadi Schwartz.
