The end of the Global Warfare Symposium is always marked by the annual Air Force Ball. As a vital part of AFA heritage, we celebrate the great accomplishments by individuals who have made significant contributions to aerospace. During dinner the General Thomas D. White Space Award went to Lt. Gen Larry James, and the General Bernard A. Schriever Fellowship to Richard McKinney. San Francisco Giants Closer Brian Wilson gave the Inaugural Michael Wilson Scholarship to Cadets Kaleb Simpson and Alexander Shuler, with touching words on his father's legacy of patriotism.

Also, we had a bit of a Hollywood treat. Actor Marcus Paulk and other representatives from Lucasfilm showed the trailer for Red Tails, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, which will be debuting early 2012.
