WASHINGTON (Aug. 26, 2015) - - Four Soldiers from the U. S. Army Transportation Agency were presented the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher medallion during an award ceremony hosted by Brig. Gen. Michel M. Russell Sr., Army Chief of Transportation.
Honorees were Master Driver Sgt. 1st Class Luis Lopez, Master Driver Staff Sgt. Jorge Robles-Martinez, Master Driver Staff Sgt. Norris Roberts and Master Driver Staff Sgt. Jesyline Swinton.
The Honorable Order of Saint Christopher medallion recognizes individuals who have displayed an outstanding degree of professional competence and served the Transportation Corps with selflessness.
St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers and of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps. The corps was established July 31, 1942, but dates back to the Revolutionary War, when Gen. George Washington appointed the first wagon master.
The U.S. Army Transportation Agency is a unique and highly trained group of Master Drivers dedicated to providing premier, worldwide transportation and cargo support services to the First Family, White House staff and official visitors of the First Family in the Washington DC area.
