Maj. Thomas Miner, 2d Security Forces Squadron commander, participates in the Fall 2009 Falcon Heritage Forum held at the Air Force Academy. The Forum is designed to link cadets with the wealth of experience and military heritage embodied in our nation's distinguished veterans. The three-day event provides cadets a systematic way to engage in discussions with veterans who have or are in the process of living out our core values in service to their country. FHF includes cadet squadron-hosted dinners and interactive mentoring exercises, where each veteran has the opportunity to share experiential learning in a more informal setting. The Forum is hosted by the Center for Character Development and sponsored through the generous financial support of the Association of Graduates. (U.S. Air Force photo by Mike Kaplan)(RELEASED)
