A proud tradition at the Space Foundation’s Space Symposium is the annual Space Warfighters Luncheon, which celebrates the men and women who serve in the military around the world. The luncheon highlights the role space assets play in providing security and solutions for keeping troops safe, informed and effective.

Lt. Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, USAF, Commander, 14th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic), Air Force Space Command; and Commander, Joint Functional Component Command for Space, U.S. Strategic Command, will be the featured speaker for this year’s Space Warfighters Luncheon on Tuesday, May 20, at The Broadmoor Hotel, Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Space Warfighters Luncheon is co-sponsored by United Launch Alliance (ULA), and is available only to Space Symposium attendees
