What makes him a Warrior
His drive to successfully accomplish the mission has made Airman James a true commodity at work.

It was used in television commercials, billboards throughout Spokane, Wash., the Inlander newspaper, nearly 20,000 flyers that were passed out to the community and throughout the base.
