A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity
“ To put it simply , it was the single most rewarding ( experience ) I have had at the academy .” - 1 / C M . R . Mason , United States Naval Academy
“ The best thing that ever happened to me at my time here at the academy ,” is how one Naval Academy Midshipman described the 19th Annual Conference .
At no other event in the country - even at their own schools - do these future military leaders have the opportunity to learn firsthand from such a variety of heroes and legends of World War II , Korea , Vietnam , and the present day .
“ This was an excellent event that truly helped my generation by helping inform us off what our futures might hold along with showing us what is expected of us . I take it as an honor to have been able to attend this conference and I cannot be more thankful that I was able to walk side by side to some of the best heroes that America has ever had .” - Cadet Terry Ellis , University of North Georgia
“ I no longer want to fight for myself , but for a greater cause and especially for the veterans that have fought and served before me . I look to them for approval and hope to one day make them proud by honoring them in my service .” - Cadet Ashley Marshall , VA Tech Air Force ROTC
