    U.S. Army Gen. Stephen R. Lyons, United States Transportation Command commander, speaks during the Airlift/Tanker Association Symposium in Grapevine, Texas, Oct. 26, 2018. Lyons spoke about the heroes of the military, who paved the road current service members travel on while they continue those legacies. “Our people: Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, are incredibly special,” said Lyons. “To get a sense of how special, just read any of the Medal of Honor citations.” Lyons then showed a video from 60 Minutes interviewing U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, the first living recipient to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War, who was recognized for his heroic actions during an ambush that recued his teammate being carried away by the Taliban. “I’m average; I’m mediocre,” said Giunta. “This is only one moment. I don’t think I did anything that anyone else that I was with wouldn’t have done.” The reporter
    remarked that his actions were pretty good for a mediocre soldier. Junta replied saying, “Think how good the great Soldiers are.” Lyons remarked that this spirit of Junta also exists throughout the mobility force and military service members across the joint force. A/TA provides mobility Airmen a professional development forum to engage with industry experts within the mobility enterprise, attend seminars focused on mobility priorities, and listen to leadership perspectives from top leaders in the Air Force and Department of Defense.
