The decision made by the Grissom financial manager is now paying dividends as he received the Air Force's Financial Management Special Acts and Services Award. Sergeant Sutton is assigned to the 434th Air Refueling Wing's Comptroller Office.He was one of 14 people from five different financial management offices that came together to support the 403rd Wing, Keesler AFB, Miss., following the disaster.

Michael Ward, superintendent in the AFRC/FM's plans and programs branch, "They made the very best things happen in the very worst of circumstances."
