386th ECES Airman wins USO Service Member of the Year

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Nicholas Tafanelli, 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron fire protection, surveys the flightline at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, August 2, 2022. Tafanelli says one of the things that fills him up at the end of the day is the camaraderie and brotherhood in the squadron, “I gained another family when I joined the fire service, they did everything they could to look after me.” Tafanelli was recently recognized at the United Service Organizations Service Member of the Year award for responding to 318 emergencies, including 61 fires and 128 motor vehicle accidents as a firefighter in Topeka, Kansas.
