CONGRATULATIONS CHARLIE!!!!
Introducing: AF Second Lieutenant Charles Bernard KennedyFour years ago at the suggestion of our good friends Rick and Joni Costa, we joined the "Sponsor a Cadet" program at the Air Force Academy. We picked up our freshmen cadet...Charlie...and now it is over...wow...did that go by fast.
Little did we know that Charlie would become a close friend of the family...so close he and Katelin started dating about 8 months ago...don't they look fabulous!!
Charlie showing off his new stripes at the commssioning ceremony!
Jarod, Charlie and Brandon were roomies at the AFAC...and will be also at Flight School in Columbus MS for the next 2 years...
Here we are at the Air Force commissiong ceremony...which was followed by the Air Force Ball later that night...pretty classy venue!
Charlie with his parents, sister and grandparents....all who flew in from Memphis!
Charlie and his roomate Brandon....right after the parade.
Katelin is very proud of Charlie...these two look great together don't they.....
It was a cloudy, cold and wet day for the parade....
On May 27, 2009 Charlie graduated from the Air Force Academy...
The ending to every graduation is when the graduates throw their hats up in the air and the Thunderbirds fly over...a very choreographed moment...of which I missed!!! I had know idea from where the Thunderbirds would approach...
These shots were taken from our family friend...Tim Skrastins of Image Factory Photo...http://www.imagefactoryphoto.com/ ...he is an amazing photographer!
These pictures were taken by another family friend...Ken Cross...I used theirs because mine did not turn out so well.
