First Sgt. Anthony Celia, 176th Wing’s Logistics Readiness Squadron first sergeant was named the National Guard Bureau First Sergeant of the Year in 2025. Celia’s journey from a young Airman inspired by the compassion of his own first sergeant to becoming the NGB First Sergeant of the Year serves as a powerful reminder of the impact one leader can have on the lives of many (Alaska National Guard photo by David Bedard)
