Tech. Sgt. Joshua Garrett receiving the Ribbon of Valor from Colonel Jason Glass February 8, 2020. Garrett, a instructor/loadmaster for the 164th AW, piloted a small aircraft across the state of North Carolina when the plane alarm went off because the door seal failed. Josh immediately dropped the plane to 10,000 ft and his actions saved the lives of himself and his passengers. The Ribbon of Valor is awarded by the state of Tennessee for heroic actions. Colonel Glass, the Assistant Adjutant General, Air for the state of Tennessee, came to Memphis and presented the award.
