Attend if you can!
We just got back from the SE Ohio Founders Dinner and had a great time. If you are invited I highly recommend you go.
Not coming from a military or WP family, it really gave us an even greater appreciation for the academy, cadets, and the thin grey line. The Col who as spoke shared his experiences from deployment in iraq and Afghanistan make clear the commitment the troops have to their mission, each other and to us as citizens. I. Odnt be prouder of my DS for pursuing this path for his life.
Go Army! Beat Navy!
