WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- A reservist assigned to the 445th Logistics Readiness Squadron was selected May 12 as the Traffic Management Airman of the Year, Transportation Award category, Air Force Reserve Command Logistics Readiness Awards for 2009.

Senior Airman Andrew Reeves, 445th LRS traffic management journeyman, was selected for the award based on his accomplishments while assigned to the unit. During the award period, Airman Reeves was hand selected by the traffic management flight chief to act as the cargo section representative for the logistics. He created pre-check quizzes for do-it-yourself (DITY) moves for the personal property section. He also investigated and filed more than 250 personal property folders that contained Government Bills of Lading. Airman Reeves was recently praised as an impressive performer while on temporary duty at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, United Kingdom, and was asked to return for a short tour.

During his off-duty time, Airman Reeves is active in assisting with American Veterans (AMVETS) by organizing social events, meetings and dinners. He also volunteers with meal preparation at the Order of Eastern Star women's organization in Athens, Ohio.
