Falcon Cadets Receive Scholarships

By Cadet Anastasia Miller

     It was a special day for our six Falcon Cadets.  It was the day they received their scholarships to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado.  The ceremony honoring our Falcons took place on August 26, 2014 in the Chapel.  Lieutenant General Jay Kelley, President of the Falcon Foundation, was the keynote speaker.  General Kelley attended the Air Force Academy from 1960-1964.  He is a great advocate of the Falcon Program.  He assisted in the development of programs that help Falcons have successful careers.  General Kelley congratulated the Falcons and the entire Corps of Cadets for their service to the Academy and to the Nation.  “You have good momentum, so keep it up”, said General Kelley.
     
     General Kelley presented each Falcon Cadet their scholarship to the Air Force Academy and an Air Force Pin.  Each scholarship presented was given in honor of a specific individual.  The following is a list of the 6 Falcon Cadets and the scholarship they received:

Cadet Jeffrey Austin received in honor of William Stuart Symington.
Cadet Luke Easton received in honor of Stephen Douglas.
Cadet Emma Lindberg received in honor of Major General Muir S. Fairchild.
Cadet Amanda Miller received in honor of Brigadier General Chuck Yeager.
Cadet Paige Ramirez received in honor of Dudley C. Sharp.
