JANUARY 2022 ISSUE
Colorado All Service Academy Ball
The 39th Colorado All Service Academy Ball was held on December 29 at the beautiful Broadmoor Hotel. There were a total of 377 attendees with cadets/midshipmen from the US Military Academy (West Point), the Naval Academy, the Coast Guard Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, and the Air Force Academy, as well as friends and families. Two Space Force Delta Guardians (Captain Mike Foley and Captain Stephen Johnson) hosted the evening and kept us entertained throughout, and LtCol Jason Harris was present to hand out the night's challenge coins (designed by C1C Michele Mason) and inspire the cadets and midshipmen about their future service. Keynote speaker Colonel (retired) Sue Ross spoke about how the military prepares cadets and midshipmen to adapt and not be overwhelmed by circumstances in life, and related how her personal experiences in the Air Force equipped her and her family for this. Dancing and Casino Night were enjoyed by many. Thank you to all who helped in any way, especially our cadet volunteers!
Thank You!
