JBLM Staff Sgt. Ralph Godinez Honored As Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber's Citizen-Soldier of the Year

The Comcast employee received the honor Tuesday.

Ralph Godinez, an Air Force staff sergeant at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, was named the Citizen-Soldier of the Year by the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce.

Former Lakewood City Councilman and all-things-digital guy Walter Neary wrote on his blog that the Comcast employee is very active in the community.

Staff Sgt. Godinez is on leave from Comcast as he serves in the Reserves. As you see in this profile by his one of his colleagues, Master Sgt. Jake Chapelle, Staff Sgt. Godinez is a very, very busy man with his community service
