FRNS Vice President, Michael Lemke Recognized by Senator Enzi
Senator Enzi honored Cheyenne's own Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt)
Michael T. Lemke in Washington DC on December 5th, 2006 for Lemke's
selection as one of the Air Force's finest. "Mr. President, I would
like to recognize Airman SMSgt Michael T. Lemke, stationed at Francis
E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY. Senior Master Sergeant Lemke
was selected as one of the Air Force's 12 Outstanding Airmen for 2006.
The award is based on his superior leadership, job performance, and
personal achievements," said Senator Enzi.
The Air Force honors the 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year at the annual
Air Force Associations Air and Space Conference and Technology Exposition
in September. Over 352,000 Active-Duty airmen were considered for this
award. "I am pleased they recognized Senior Master Sergeant Lemke with
this well deserved honor. I had the pleasure of metting with Senior
Master Sergeant Lemke while he was in Washington to receive his award."
Senior Master Sergeant Lemke has been in the Air Force for 20 years and is
the superintendent of the 90th Contracting Squadron at F.E. Warren AFB. He
was also selected as the top graduate at the Senior Non-Commissioned Officer
Academy out of 2,515 Senior NCO's who graduated in 2005. "He recently returned
from deployment in Iraq and I thank him for his sacrifice and service," said
Senator Enzi.
Senator Enzi recognized the importance of creating jobs in the Cheyenne area
and mentioned SMSgt Lemke's new business venture as he is preparing to retire
from the Air Force. "I have always said that anyone wanting to live in Wyoming
will do so if they can create a job. I am pleased that Senior Master Sergeant
Lemke will be entering the private sector as a small business owner in Cheyenne,"
said Senator Enzi. "He and his wife Maria, who is an accountant, will be
partners in Front Range Nuclear Services. One of the biggest problems in rural
America is access to health care facilities. Front Range Nuclear Services helps
improve access to health care for people in Wyoming by transporting medical scanning
technology to the hospitals."
When asked why Sergeant Lemke decided to enter the small business arena, the answer
from him was inspirational. The decision to buy the company followed a life changing
event. "My wife, Maria, found a small lump in one of her breasts a couple years ago and
immediately went to the doctor for diagnosis. The doctor recommended a biopsy, a painful
and invasive procedure, only to find out that the mass was only fibrous," said Lemke.
"Maria found another lump last year and was afraid to go back to the doctor in fear
of another biopsy. That is when we found out about nuclear medicine. Maria underwent
a painless and non-invasive nuclear medicine study that confirmed the mass was not cancerous.
I was so impressed by the result and the pease of mind it provided to my wife and me that
I jumped at the chance to buy the company when it was offered to me by my business
partner, Matt Johnson," said Lemke.
