2009 Awards Announced
The Awards Committee met at AFA Headquarters on June 18. While the National Aerospace Awards were selected, these awards need to be
finalized by contacting the recipients and in most cases Air Force Leaders at the Pentagon as well as MAJCOM Commanders. This process
will take a couple of weeks so these awards will be included in the next issue of Newsline. For now, please see the field awards listed
below.
