After retiring from the Air Force Stuart began working with the Veteran's of Foreign Wars post in San Marcos, Texas. In his time as commander of the VFW post Stuart has helped shape the future of kids who grew up in the post. "Two kids were always around the post and I always talked with them about joining the Air Force," said Stuart. "A couple years back they joined the Air Force and I was able to make the trip to see them graduate BMT. It made me so proud to see those two join and succeed and I would do it all over again just to be a part of the Air Force."
