Posted: 4/15/2023

Two prospective Naval Academy Midshipmen get a photo op with retired Navy pilot Captain Jim Coopersmith, USNA Class of ’62, at a prior year Army-Navy Football Game Watch Party. Both young men graduated from USNA this past May 2022. Dinner with Warriors formalizes this contact with retired career officers in the area.

 

What:  23 Apr (Sunday):Dinner with Warriors:  This event is for only potential candidates for any of our military academies: Navy Academy, West Point, Air Force Academy, and Coast Guard Academy.  But we need your help in advertising it. Retired officers from each of the services will be there discussing their military careers and will be able to answer questions of what midshipmen and cadets can expect in terms of challenges and career experiences in today’s United States armed forces. 

Location: Hallbrook Country Club, 11200 Overbrook Rd., Leawood, KS 66211

Details: The deadline for registration is this weekend April 15-16; thus this is an urgent call as we still have available reservations. If you know a 9th, 10th or 11th grader whose academics and other qualities qualifies them for an appointment, by all means give them the attached invitation ASAP and urge them to come with a parent to this dinner. We currently have 13 academy grads who will be discussing their academy and military experiences. The US Marine Corps will be there too. This event is rare but it is a great incentive for kids to apply to our academies, any of them. Applications are seriously down this year so we all have a duty to ensure we have great candidates to fill our future ranks of the Armed Services. It only takes two minutes to give a student a call (or their parents) that may change their life. Call your friends and see if their high school students might go. Again,the deadline is this weekend.  (See the registration link below)  Thanks to retired Air Force pilot, LTCOL Greg Shuey, USAFA ’68, for organization of this annual dinner in April each year. He serves as the President of the local Kansas City Air Force Academy Association of Graduates. 

Link and Deadline:  Reservations: By KC Air Force Association of Graduates (AOG) Website at https://cvent.me/40Rx3O.  Registration Deadline is 16 April 2023.
