The following individuals were presented with the Order of Saint Michael (OSM) during 2-149th GSAB January IDT CW4 Hale and SSG Christian. CW3 Thurgood was formaly recognized as a recipient of the OSM.

The Order of Saint Michael primarily refers to the U.S. Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA) award, established in 1990 to recognize individuals who have significantly contributed to Army Aviation. It honors professionals, both military and civilian, demonstrating integrity and service.

Saint Michael is referred to in biblical writings as an archangel who wages war against evil. He was known as the heavenly prince or champion who specifically charged forward to guard and defend others. He is legendary as the leader of angels who fought a war in heaven and conquered the dragon and cast it down from the skies. Michael’s battles are an allegory of the struggle between good and evil. Throughout the centuries, Michael has been depicted with a sword fighting or standing over the conquered dragon.

The legendary image of Saint Michael defeating the dragon exemplifies the bravery and gallantry that we associate with the Aviation soldier. His angelic qualities demonstrate the boldness and swiftness of Army Aviation on the battlefield. As a brave warrior and protector, Saint Michael is the embodiment of courage and justice and is an appropriate symbol of the values and high level of excellence exhibited throughout Army Aviation.
