The 911th Airlift Wing celebrated its 2025 Annual Awards Banquet at the Sheraton Pittsburgh Airport Hotel, Pennsylvania, March 1, 2025. The annual event serves to recognize Steel Airmen from enlisted and commissioned officer ranks as well as civilian employees for their outstanding achievements and dedication to duty.
Military members and their families gathered to honor the nominees and award recipients. The evening featured a formal dinner, retired Command Sergeant Major Bart Womack as a guest speaker, and ceremonies in remembrance and in celebration of the exceptional contributions of Airmen across various career fields.
Previous to the awards ceremony, many Citizen Airmen recently returned from NEXUS FORGE 2025, a large-scale two-week training and certification event for the U.S. Air Force Reserve, designed to showcase the readiness and skill development of Citizen Airmen in Agile Combat Employment.
“Nexus Forge was hard,” said Chief Master Sgt. Dennis Jendrzejewski, 911th Airlift Wing command chief. “But was it harder than steel? No. Was it harder than Steel Airmen? Hell no.”
Col. Douglas Stouffer, the 911th Airlift Wing Commander, presented the annual awards to the following Airmen and civilians:
Airman of the Year: Senior Airman Hudson Snoddy, 911th Civil Engineer Squadron
Noncommissioned Officer of the Year: Tech. Sgt. Timothy Leddick, 911th AW Public Affairs
