BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan--Cherylann M. Mcfadden was presented the Honorable Order of Saint Martin by Col. Kurt Ryan, Task Force Muleskinner commanding officer, during a ceremony at 10th Sustainment Brigade headquarters Sept. 25.
Mcfadden, the 10th Sustainment Brigade, Task Force Muleskinner Central Issue Facility property book officer, is deployed with 401st Army Field Support Brigade and assigned to the sustainment brigade. The Ancient Order of Saint Martin was established to recognize those who have rendered conspicuous, long-term service among Quartermasters.
Mcfadden was nominated for the honor by Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ernie Ixtlahuac, 10th SBDE property book officer and CIF officer-in-charge.
"I nominated Cherylann to recognize her dedicated service to the Warfighter as a quartermaster," Ixtlahuac said. "The Order of Saint Martin is for logisticians and she proved herself as a loggie."
Ryan said he met Mcfadden in 2006, and ticked off the sustainment brigade commanders she served under and the numerous missions she completed.
"If we lost her, it would be mission failure," Ryan said.
"I've never had such a wonderful honor," said an emotional Mcfadden.
