66TH AIR FORCE BALL!

This was our 2nd time going to the Air Force Ball. It was the Air Forces 66th Birthday! It was at the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel was really nice about everything. A big room with a dance floor was rented out and it was very enlightening. A POW that was captured and was in a north vietnamese prison camp for eight years said a speech about how important families back hom to soldiers were to the mission and how the air force never gave up on him when he was a prisoner. It was pretty emotional and Ian's eyes lit up at the speech. He had heard him talk at his ALS class but it was nice to be able to hear it myself. We even got pictures with him. We went up to him and thanked him for his service and he grabbed my hand and held it for almost 2 minutes and thanked me for supporting my husband which made me feel so proud to be a military life. After the speech we socialized and met a couple people it was fun. Definitely will go again. Minot's Air Force ball was so awesome! Here are some pictures.
