FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. - More than 180 individuals from Fort Leonard Wood received awards during the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence Commanding General’s Appreciation of Excellence ceremony Dec. 3 at Baker Theater.
Civilians, military and youth were all recognized for various reasons, including their dedication to duty and volunteering.
Among those receiving awards was youth Makyah Adams, who said she had fun volunteering her time at “Kids Day.”
“I wanted make sure that the (other) kids could have the best day they possibly could,” Adams said.
Johnny Barber, Afghan Army Training Materials team member, and his coworkers also received awards for continued efforts in training the Afghan National Army.
Barber said team members have all made several rotations to the country. He has made three trips to the region so far.
Maj. Gen. Leslie Smith, Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and Fort Leonard Wood commanding general, praised those receiving awards and the supervisors who took the time to submit the names.
