Today is a special day for the Class of 1959 as they celebrate the anniversary of becoming the first cadets at the newly established U.S. Air Force Academy. Their journey began at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, while the current campus was still under construction. Even after all these years, the first day of their journey remains etched in the memories of cadets and grads alike. While they may not recall all the specifics, the memory of the start of their journey to the #longblueline is one that remains close to their hearts. #lowryafb #militaryacademy #graduates #alumni
