101st Air Refueling Wing
Congratulations to our 2026 Maine Air National Guard Outstanding Airmen of the Year
selects!
As a Material Management Journeyman with the Logistics Readiness Squadron, SrA
Izabella Willett expertly manages the supply chain, inventory, and logistics vital to the
101st ARW's mission. Demonstrating leadership beyond her rank, she serves with
distinction as the Assistant NCOIC of the Maine State Honor Guard, where she instills a
culture of precision and dignity.
SrA Willett has personally rendered full military honors at over 100 funeral services and
expertly orchestrated 5 retirement ceremonies, including a notable service for a General
Officer. To amplify her team's capabilities, she directed a key training initiative,
dedicating 15 off-duty hours to mentor and certify 9 retirees in flag-folding protocols.
This action expanded the unit's capacity for full military honors by 25%, ensuring no
veteran's family is denied this final tribute. Her dedication personifies the highest
standards of the Maine Air National Guard and guarantees our nation's heroes receive
the honor they have earned.
