What makes Major Walmsley a Warrior
"As director of operations for the expeditionary air refueling squadron he executed the main tanker operations for Operation Enduring Freedom. His leadership directly impacted air refueling missions supporting NATO's largest OEF combat operation and saved troops under enemy contact," said Lt. Col. Glenn LeMasters. "He made the combat operations successful through his steadfast effort, professional expertise, and "can do" attitude which resulted in no-loss OEF sorties due to operations for an unprecedented two months."
