It reinforces societal values of honoring service members and underscores the importance of their sacrifices.

Summary

House Resolution 282 commends Master Sergeant Nordyica N. Woodfork on the occasion of her retirement from the United States Air Force. With a distinguished career that spanned over three decades, MSgt. Woodfork held multiple key positions and was instrumental in managing medical operations and adhering to stringent safety regulations. Her accomplishments reflect a commitment to excellence, not only in military service but also in her role supporting healthcare coordination within the Air Force structure.
