An important part of the Association of Graduates’ commitment to heritage is recognizing and honoring the Academy’s most outstanding graduates. ----more----
While every graduate contributes in his or her own way, some are worthy of special recognition. The AOG’s Heritage Trail contains pedestals dedicated to the Distinguished Graduate Award recipients. The Distinguished Graduate Award recognizes exceptional graduates who have set themselves apart by making extraordinarily significant contributions to our nation and/or their communities. The award, jointly presented by the AOG and the Academy, was established in 1999 and first presented during Founders Day 2002. The initial recipients, technically the 2001 honorees, were General Ronald Fogleman, Class of ’63, and Mr. Harry Pearce, Class of ’64. The pedestals are made of granite quarried in South Dakota. Each pedestal weighs just under two-thousand pounds. The prestige of an institution is measured by the accomplishments of its graduates. Distinguished Graduates are among those who provide an example of the qualities we Zoomies value.
The Heritage Minute Channel is a production of the Long Blue Line Podcast Network and presented by the U.S. Airforce Academy Association and Foundation
