KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Staff Sgt. Kimberly Gracia, 8th Health Care Operations Squadron diagnostics & therapeutics non-commissioned officer in charge, was awarded the 8th Fighter Wing’s ‘Pride of the Pack’ for the week of Dec. 16-20.
Gracia took charge of multiple critical initiatives, enhancing the wing’s medical readiness. She led the organization of eight influenza mass vaccination events across 25 squadrons.

Her proactive approach to managing her department's resources, combined with her impeccable organizational skills, highlights her readiness for increased responsibilities and her unwavering dedication to the mission.
