\u201cI was in the airport when I got a call from Maj. Gen. Wasmund and he said to me, \u2018Hey Skip, this may be an unusual proposal, but we would like to name a SETAF award after you\u2026\u2019 and then he went on to explain the award\u2019s key values,\u201d said retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Davis.<\/p>\n

Davis served as the deputy commander and chief of staff at SETAF from May 2006 \u2013 2008. During his time here, he helped establish U.S. Army Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The award supports a culture of empowerment and trust by recognizing one Department of the Army civilian, one noncommissioned officer and one officer who demonstrate outstanding leadership and professional excellence and embody SETAF-AF\u2019s shared values of character, excellence, trust, humility and innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he [Wasmund] listed the key values, I signed off immediately,\u201d said Davis. \u201cI said that those are great values for everyone to develop: cohesion, esprit de corps and a desire to excel. I\u2019d be happy to lend my name to the award.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an honor to be the first recipients of this award,\u201d said the awardees.<\/p>\n

Mr. Richard Fidalgo, deputy director of G-6, U.S. Army Master Sgt. Anthony Hurst, Headquarters Support Company supply noncommissioned officer in charge, and U.S. Army Chaplain Lt. Col. Charles Gilbertson, operations chaplain, were the first members to receive the Major Gen. Gordon B. \u201cSkip\u201d Davis Jr. Lions Legacy Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo those who were chosen, I congratulate you,\u201d said Davis. \u201cBut I also wish them to emulate the values that have been put forth in this award.\u201d<\/p>\n
