James Williamson, a transportation assistant with the Logistics Readiness Center, is consistently compassionate, cool under pressure and caring while working with service members in stressful times. He recently assisted a service member who received orders one week prior to the reporting date. Williamson was helpful, courteous, reassuring and provided numerous methods to move property with a household goods shipment to meet the service member’s timeline. MSCoE appreciates Williamson’s professionalism and selfless service.
