    A Good Impression

Christian Funk was back on the field with the Air Force Academy football team Oct. 19 when the Falcons played the University of Nevada Las Vegas at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas.

    We are all survivors

    Having faced numerous hardships throughout her life, it would have been easy for Kristen Christy to give up. Instead, she has dedicated her life to giving back.

    Moonlighting

  • Mr. Scott Palomino, 301st Fighter Wing Airman and Family Readiness Center director, is a survivor of a deadly mortar attack at Balad Air Base, Iraq on April 10, 2004.
