Family and Friends of Preston,
Thank you allowing us the pleasure to work with Senior Airman Medlin. Preston arrived to Aviano Air Base, Italy, fresh out of technical training in the aftermath of COVID. Despite the challenges of joining and learning during a really tough time, his positive attitude persisted and he quickly integrated with the team. Preston learned and made our shop better, deployed and went on temporary duty numerous times, and overall was a joy to work along side.
I know his teammates from our overseas tour together are also mourning his loss. Please accept our humblest appreciation for the time we were able to spend with him, and for supporting his journey. You have our condolences from across the Air Force Vehicle Management world.
Chief Master Sergeant Adam Walker
