Joski receives Wisconsin National Guard honor for community support

The things you see Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski daily were recognized by the Wisconsin National Guard this week. Joski, a staff sergeant with the 1157th Transportation Company, received the 2022 1LT Thomas E. Wortham IV Achievement Award during a ceremony at the Oshkosh Corporation Global Headquarters held last week. In addition to his six years of service with the Wisconsin National Guard, Joski was recognized for his time serving in law enforcement, the U.S. Marine Corps, Toys for Tots, and other local causes. Joski was humbled by the award, saying he has never considered what he does to be outside of the ordinary.


Lt. Col. Craig Jansen, commander of the 732nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, said at the ceremony that he has “always admired that Staff Sgt. Joski can be the Sheriff of Kewaunee county, supervising 30 or so employees during the week, and then come over to Oshkosh on a drill weekend as a non-commissioned officer and be the backbone of the Army.” Joski shared the ceremony with the 2019 recipient, Sgt. Grant Kjellberg, whose ceremony was postponed due to COVID-19.
