Air Force Prepares for 60th AnniversaryBig things are in store for Airmen as Air Force leaders have planned more than a year's worth of commemoratory activities leading up to the Air Force's 60th anniversary on Sept. 18, 2007. The commemoration began Oct. 14 with the dedication of the new Air Force Memorial. In the weeks after, there will be events recognizing the various Air Force art works in the Pentagon, and the Air Force Academy Band and Cadet Chorale will take part in the Macy's Day parade in New York City to start off the holiday season.

Museum Commemorates Anniversary
Sixty pieces of art, one representing a significant event for each year in Air Force history, will go on display in the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force's Hall of Honor Oct. 17. The special exhibit is part of the museum's commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force. The exhibit entitled, "Heritage to Horizons: Commemorating 60 Years of Air and Space Power Through Artists' Eyes," displays art from the Air Force Art Program and the museum's own collection. The exhibit at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will run through October 2007. For more information, visit the National Museum of the USAF website.
