The AAFES Worldwide Outstanding Associate with a Disability Award
winner for 2006 is Jerome Knight, a laborer from Ft Eustis Main Exchange,
Eastern Region. Jerome is an exceptional associate who performs his duties thoroughly with dedication and enthusiasm. Jerome’s positive attitude, willingness to help others, and loyalty to AAFES is an inspiration to everyone around him. His disability is mental retardation, which typically results in a chronic and lifelong condition that limits a person’s ability to learn. Jerome, however, learns very quickly, is always eager for more responsibility, and is a valuable asset to the Fort Eustis Main Exchange. His disability has not stopped him from becoming an integral member of the team. Jerome is proud to represent AAFES. The award was presented by Julie Zills, SVP, Eastern Region.

AAFES congratulates all 2006 outstanding associates with disabilities
who were recognized.
