U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Christina Lee, recipient of the Federally Employed Women's (FEW) 2024 Meritorious Service Award, poses for a portrait at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, August 23, 2024. The FEW Military Meritorious Award Program recognizes a maximum of six exceptional military service members; one for each service branch. The purpose of FEW’s Military Meritorious Service Awards is to recognize outstanding military service members within the Armed Forces who have distinguished themselves with significant contributions to their service. One of the accomplishments that earned Lee the award was founding the Female Defender Initiative at Minot AFB, the first of its kind across two bases.
