Four Airmen from the JBLE Honor Guard have been awarded the United States Air Force Achievement Medal for their dedication and professionalism. The Airmen were part of the military funeral honors for eight of the nine Puerto Rico National Guardsmen who were killed in a May 2, 2018 aircraft mishap. “I enlisted into the military, into the United States Air Force, to represent something bigger than myself. Honor Guard, in my opinion, is the best way for me to do something bigger than myself,” U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Christopher Clement, 633rd Communications Squadron communications specialist said.
