94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
12/11/2012 - MARIETTA, Ga. -- The 94th Airlift Wing director of Airman and Family Readiness was honored on Nov. 15 at the Cobb Energy Center for her dedication to the Dobbins community and giving freely her time to any Airmen, or their families, who are in need.
Angela Pedersen, the only civilian honored thus far, was recognized along with several Service members of varying rank and career fields for being ultimate wingmen to those around them.
Twin brothers, David Waldman and Lt. Col. Robert Waldman, co-founders of the Wingman Foundation hosted, with Verizon Wireless, the dinner ceremony which also featured songs by country artist Ansel Brown and stories of our military's heroes.
"Tonight is about honoring these special honorees that are receiving this award," said Robert "Waldo" Waldman. "It's more about honoring our military. It's about strengthening the ties that exist between the military and civilian and business communities. Together as one, united, we can better serve each other and the United States of America."
Pedersen and Airman and family readiness supports the 94th AW mission directly by offering pre-deployment, deployment, & reunion support to Airmen and their families. Pedersen also manages the Key Spouse Program and the Dobbins Emergency Fund.
