Jonathan,

Your journey has been such an inspiration to so many of our youth, our staff, our military community, and everyone who has had the opportunity to watch you grow and lead. You have used your voice to represent military-connected youth, stood up for others, shared your story, and shown what leadership, courage, determination, and heart truly looks like. The impact you’ve made reaches far beyond any award or title. Our youth look up to you and see what is possible when you believe in yourself and use your voice to make a difference.

You have represented Tinker Air Force Base, Tinker Youth Programs, and military youth everywhere with so much pride and we are so incredibly proud to have been part of your journey.

✨We are SO PROUD OF YOU!!! ✨
