Space Foundation Observes Armed Forces Day

Written by: developer

Armed Forces Day on May 16 was celebrated at the Space Foundation Discovery Center in Colorado Springs by offering free admission to the children of military families. The Discovery Center offers family-friendly, hands-on space-themed activities that spark interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The Space Foundation was also a table sponsor for the Armed Forces Week Luncheon in Colorado Springs on May 13 (pictured). The event honored 14 “best of the best” of the enlisted forces from local commands. Featured speaker for the luncheon was Gen. John E. Hyten, Commander, Air Force Space Command, Peterson AFB. Veterans who attended the luncheon were recognized, including a few veterans from World War II.
