Air Force civilian receives Spirit of Hope Award
October 30th, 2009
Air Force leaders presented a civilian employee with a Spirit of Hope Award Oct. 27 for enhancing the quality of life of injured service members and their families.
The award is named in honor of Bob Hope, the first honorary veteran of the U.S. Army for his 50-plus years of entertaining troops, both in peacetime and in combat zones.
Each year, the five services and the Department of Defense can nominate individuals or organizations for the award that consists of a bronze or silver medal with a bas relief of Mr. Hope. This year, the Air Force's award went to a financial analyst assigned to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, for epitomizing honor, integrity, selfless dedication and outstanding service to the United States of America.
