Congrats Nate!
|
Many of you may not realize that one of the guys on my team, Nate, is in the Air National Guard. Nate has made many sacrifices to serve this company and his family while serving the US military. He recently received two honors from the Air Force that I believe deserves public praise.
 First, Nate was recently given the Outstanding Airman of the Year award, a distinction given to a select few. The Outstanding Airman of the Year Ribbon is the highest personal ribbon decoration of the United States Air Force. This is no small feat to accomplish!
 In addition, Nate recently earned the “First Sergeant” position. Nate will be responsible for the morale, welfare, and conduct of all the enlisted members in his squadron and is the chief advisor to the squadron commander concerning the enlisted force. n his new role in the Air National Guard, Nate has become non-deployable, meaning that in times of war, his position requires him to stay here in Portland and support the soldiers and their families. This is great news as he was sorely missed for many months in 2002 when he was deployed to Afghanistan.
Nate, you have my sincerest, heart-felt congratulations! You deserve it.
