145th Airlift Wing Recognizes Top Airmen during ramp formation
U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. David D. Thrams, NCANG, receives Meritorious Service Medal, second oak leaf cluster, and the North Carolina Meritorious Service Medal on the occasion of his retirement for his outstanding service in the role of Unit Environmental Coordinator for the 145th Airlift Wing during a ramp formation held at the North Carolina Air National Guard Base, Charlotte Douglas Intl. Airport May 3, 2015. A ramp formation is when units assigned to the 145th Airlift Wing form up quarterly to honor award winners and medal recipients. It also gives U.S. Air Force Col. Marshall Collins, 145th Airlift Wing commander, an opportunity to address his airmen. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Airman Laura Montgomery, 145th Public Affairs/Released)
