Julian was lauded by the 86th AW’s command team for his efforts in supporting the Air Force mission in Europe.

An 86th Comptroller Squadron budget analyst received the honor of being Ramstein’s Airlifter of the Week on Nov. 30.

The 86th Airlift Wing commander and command chief lauded Tech. Sgt. Fritz Julian for his excellence in executing the Air Force mission across the European theater of operation.

Julian, who hails from the Republic of Haiti, is credited with training 50 financial managers not only in the 86th Airlift Wing but across Ramstein. He also oversaw the execution plans of the only logistics readiness and civil engineer groups in U.S. Air Forces Europe-Air Forces Africa.

He is actively engaged in the local community by conducting charitable work, an example of which was leading a team of volunteers to deliver food and clothing to families in need.

“I feel honored to receive this recognition from our wing command team,” Julian said. “In my mind, I was just doing my job. But it feels good to get a pat on the back from my leaders.”

Julian thanked his leadership for pushing him to be the best Airman he can be, and encouraged his fellow Airmen to do their best in everything they do. He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve his adopted country.

“I came to the U.S. when I was young, and I chose to serve in the Air Force as a way to say ‘thank you’ to this nation,” Julian said. “As Airmen we like to think we’re just doing our job, but if we put excellence into our daily work, we will stand out from everyone else.”
