A Special Honor and Celebration – 2015 Gathering of Eagles Program at Maxwell Air Force Base

Lee received a special honor in being selected as an “Eagle” in the Gathering of Eagles program at Maxwell Air Force Base. Over the last 30 years, notable Eagles such as “Chuck” Yeager, Neil Armstrong, George H.W. Bush, Jefferson Alexander, Elizabeth Strohfus and others have shared their stories as part of the GoE program.

Lee shared his experiences and expertise with current and future military leaders in an educational setting.

Great visit with CMSgt Laura Calloway and her husband Terrance. She is the Command Chief for the 42nd ABW at Maxwell-Gunter AFB, AL.

The Daedalians hosted the Eagles for breakfast and I sat with two old friends, retired colonels Lou Silvestri and Stan Phillips. So good to rejoin at Founder Flight after many years away.

With my two sponsor/escorts for Gathering of Eagles. Major David “Jekyll” Davidson on the left and Major Matt “Swat” Kenkel on the right. Swat did a great interview for the audience and Jekyll kept me on schedule. What an honor and a blast!!
