Jeremy Mapalo

Jeremy joined the Air Force in 2000, serving as a Security Forces Defender. He is currently serving as the Senior Enlisted Leader at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. He wants people to know, that as a wounded warrior, he will continue to break the stigma, while building awareness to anyone hiding behind a mask, to give the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program a chance. He said, “Getting involved in AFW2 is important for both warriors and those supporting the program. Warriors can benefit with the holistic recovery support, personalized case management, career and transition assistance, community and connection, empowerment through adaptive sports and resiliency programs. Caregivers, volunteers, and leaders can benefit by fostering a culture of care, enhancing wing readiness, learning and advocating for opportunities.”
