FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii – The foundation of our Army and our nation rests on the “volunteer” spirit of our Soldiers and their families, and that spirit in action can make a tremendous impact on communities.
Twelve 8th Theater Sustainment Command troops and Army spouses where recognized by the unit’s leadership during a ceremony, Nov. 17, at Historic Palm Circle here, for their exceptional dedication to their fellow troops and community.
Maj. Gen. Edward F. Dorman III and Command Sgt. Maj. Charles Tobin, the TSC command team, presented the group of volunteers with certificates of appreciation and Presidential Volunteer Service Awards, applauding their commitment and the example they set for our Army Family to follow.
“Each of these individuals represents the definition for what this award means – the willingness to dedicating one’s time to helping and mentoring others without being told to do so,” said Dorman. “A volunteer demonstrates leadership qualities that determine their character.”
The volunteers recognized where:
- Staff Sgt. Daniel J. Cortez for coaching multiple youth sports
- Capt. Forrest E. Cureton and his wife Ingrid for their leadership with Boy Scout Troop 24
- Sgt. Melissa P. Galloway for her role in the Drunk Driving Prevention Program (Capt. Jared D. Tharp accepted on behalf)
- Sgt. 1st Class Janna M. Escude for leading the Wailua Elementary Sponsorship Program outreach efforts
- Mrs. Evelynne Billings for her impact as the 95th Engineer Company Family Readiness Group leader
- 1st Sgt. Katrina Richardson, Sgt. 1st Class Kyran Adams, Sgt. 1st Class Ismael Gomez, Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Nagoshi, Sgt. 1st Class Terrance Sorrells and Staff Sgt. Janet Gary for their work with the Institute of Human Services
The 8th TSC’s Volunteer Recognition Ceremony is conducted semiannually in order to recognize outstanding individuals who have contributed significantly as a volunteer to the military and/or the local community. The unit’s subordinate brigades nominate individuals from their formations.
