Ronald MARTIN

RON and I were station together at Lakenheath England and if my memory serves...we were both promoted to lieutenant colonel at the same time combining our ceremonies which would´ve been around 2000 or 2001. We worked closely together as I was the health promotion manager for the base, and Ron had implemented the new preventive health assessment program for the wing. I learned a lot from his experience and expertise, and he was a great friend and colleague. I am truly saddened by his passing...

Many thoughts and prayers to family and friends for the loss of a most wonderful man, coworker, and nurse. He was an extraordinary role model for all 92d Medical Group staff. Having followed in his footsteps as a diabetes educator and Disease Management Coordinator, I am very proud to say I learned from the best. He certainly was my friend, mentor, and hero in uniform and beyond. May great memories give you solace during this most difficult time.

On behalf of the Pacific Region of the Society of Air Force Nurses (SAFN), I would like to express our sincere condolences at the loss of your loved one. Please know that we are also mourning the loss of one of our colleagues and friends. He will be remembered in the next monthly Memorial Committee Report which is sent to all SAFN members so you may hear from other Air Force nurses he served with. With Sympathy, Lynn Von Schlieder, Major, USAF, NC (Ret.) Pacific Region Memorial...
