MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  Fifteen individuals and three teams from MacDill took top honors in recent 2010 Air Mobility Command Medical Service Awards. The showing is one to be proud of, said Col. Dennis Beatty, 6th Medical Group commander.

"There is a lot of the great work being done every day by the members of the 6th Medical Group," said Col.onel Beatty. "This is a small representation of that (work)."
Colonel Beatty said 74 award packages were presented to Air Mobility Command for the annual competition. That a quarter of the submissions were chosen for awards is "commendable and something to be proud of," he said.
