okay. to several of my friends USAFA is not a get away or a serene place, but for me it is (usually) relaxing and a wonderfully peaceful place. it's beautiful. it has so much history and tradition. it is one of the most amazing places in the world. i can't express how much i love it there.
these are just a couple of my favorite things from the Academy. it's a wonderful place.

| The statue of General Risner. It's one of my favorite memorials at the Academy. He has an amazing story. He was an amazing person. A hero in American history. A legend. (yes. I love him.) |
