| Ed Montgomery, Class of '59, Addressing Basics |
This year, for the third time, I was privileged to participate in the Honor Seminars led by Air Force Academy Graduates with the Class of '17 during their basic training in Jack's Valley. This outstanding program provides time for grads to have informal discussions with the new cadets and future officers on the importance of character, honor and integrity in their careers and lives.
The young men and women I met with have been well raised with a strong sense of character, honor and integrity; values which will be built on and refined during their tenure at the Air Force Academy. My hope for the future of our country has, once again, been renewed with the hope that these young men and women, and others of their generation, can reverse the trend of decay that consumes our society today.
I posted photos and videos of this year's experience on my Picasa Website. The three videos at the end show "Pugil Stick" competition, "Obstacle Course" finals and the "Recognition Parade" which culminates in the basics' acceptance into the Cadet Wing. Check them out by clicking the link, below.
