Commander's comments:  "Airman Lord is a true professional," said Lt. Col. Michael Washington, 56th LRS commander. "He is an upand-coming star in the petroleum, oil and lubricants career field. His recent  selection as 56th LRS Airman of the Quarter is a reflection of the impact he makes at Luke every day. Since arriving in September 2006, he has issued more than half a million gallons of JP-8 to Luke's F-16s. His drive and dedication were evident during the Luke Air Show where he flawlessly refueled the F-22, ACC demo team aircraft and the Air Force Thunderbirds. I echo the sentiments of the fuels management team, 'I wish I had 40 more just like Airman Lord.'"
