ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Lt. Gen. Larry Wyche, the deputy commanding general for Army Materiel Command, visited Anniston Army Depot Jan. 11 to tour the installation's maintenance operations and present an award to Tony Burdell.

In 2015, Burdell, who has served as the Anniston Munitions Center's deputy to the commander since July 2007, was named a recipient of AMC's Louis Dellamonica Award. Wyche presented the award in a ceremony attended by Burdell's friends, family and coworkers.

"This award is about making your best better and we are honoring someone who exemplifies that," said Wyche.

The Louis Dellamonica Award recognizes outstanding accomplishments significantly contributing to AMC's mission and overarching goals and objectives. Each year AMC selects ten employees, military and civilian, below the rank of general officer and senior executive service, who meet the established criteria and stand out as model employees.

Burdell said it is a credit to his family and teammates that he achieved this award.

"Everyone I've worked with throughout the years made this day possible," said Burdell.

During Wyche's tour of ANAD, he visited the Combat Vehicle Repair Facility, Turbine Engine Facility, DLA Distribution Anniston's small arms storage facility, and the Small Arms Repair Facility.
