SVS commander thanks wing for LeMay award support Published April 15, 2008 By Maj. Mike Marvich 21st Services Squadron commander PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Editor's note: The following letter to 21st Space Wing members is from Maj. Mike Marvich, 21st Services Squadron commander. The letter thanks the Wing for the support rendered to the squadron during the Gen. Curtis E. LeMay Air Force-level award team inspection: To the men and women of the 21st Space Wing: The announcement came in mid-January that the 21st Services Squadron at Peterson to be the Air Force Space Command's LeMay Award nomination for the Air Force-level award. From that moment on, the Wing rolled up its sleeves to put a spit-and-polish shine on everything from exercise equipment in the Fitness Center to golf clubs in the pro shop to rafts at Outdoor Recreation. And Services shined! From the superb visiting chef's gourmet dinner night at The Club to finesse by its precise High Frontier Honor Guard, from the energy at the Fitness and Sports Center to the energy at the R.P. Lee Youth Center, from the greens at Silver Spruce to the cash green at NAF Accounting, Services rocked. Aside from the shine they put on their equipment, facilities and programs, Services knew that winning the LeMay Award would necessitate a team effort involving hard work, resources, and support from other groups at Peterson. So we called upon Mission Support, Security Forces, Civil Engineering, Logistics Readiness, Contracting, Space Communications, 21st SW Protocol, 721st MSG, and the Company Grade Officers' Council. Everyone stepped up and contributed resources to help a fellow member of the 21st Space Wing. The support the squadron received from the base was phenomenal! Airmen were out cheering the team on and making them feel like a member themselves. The LeMay team was amazed by the positive atmosphere at Peterson and truly impressed by the entire team's approach to successful mission completion. Each group contributed greatly to the success of the LeMay team's visit. They were overwhelmed by the reception you all gave them, the attendance at special events and dinners, by what they saw in Services programs, Services people and, yes, they commented about the tremendous support these other groups and squadrons gave to Services. Your efforts did not go unnoticed. This fine working partnership during the recent LeMay visit exemplifies the exceptional spirit of the base. Thanks to all in the Peterson Complex for making us the best Services Squadron in the Air Force. Major Mike Marvich, Commander 21st Services Squadron
