PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. --  Capt. Alex "Gazz" Gazzaway, his wife Laura, and their children Zachary, Parker, Grace and Cameron are the National Military Family Association's family of the year for 2008. 

Captain Gazzaway is assigned to the Manpower and Personnel directorate of Air Force Space Command. 

The family was honored for their volunteer efforts and community participation while stationed at Cape Cod Air Force Station, Mass. 

"It is challenging to balance work, family, and community involvement, but we try to intertwine the kids in everything we do," Captain Gazzaway said. We consider it our way to give back to the community and create fun family memories." 

The family is being flown to Washington D.C. next week by the NMFA to receive the award and $1,000 for themselves. The NMFA will also donate $500 in their name to a charity that supports military families. (Photo by Capt. Gazzaway family, USAF)
