In 1984 when Pres. Ronald Reagan came to speak at that year’s graduation ceremony; they had arranged for their gallant janitor to finally stand face-to-face with the President of the United States and receive his due commendation. One of those 1984 USAF Academy graduates 🎓 used to work for me, as an air traffic controller, when he was an E-3, before getting an appointment to the USAF Academy. I saw him again when he was a 1st Lt, at Travis AFB.
He said it was a thrill to meet Ronald Reagan, but never told me this story. I wish he had.

There still are some kids out there who take US History seriously. I was such a lad, and I am happy to see that my son is as well.

I learned about that while at the academy. Actually, a lot of the humble employees there are military heros. They were great role models for the cadets. Class acts.

Thanks for your Service. You're the 3rd AFA grad that I've seen on FR. My BIL is a '73 grad of AFA, I went Army.
It is a very cool story.
