Air Force Academy Society of NC: USAFA Founders Day Dinner
Please mark Thursday evening, May 2, 2013 on your calendars as the date of this year's Founder's Day event.
Our speaker will be LTGEN Tom Waskow '70 USAF Retired.
Tom's topic will be the "US Response to Humanitarian Operations the Indonesian Tsunami of December 2004."
Tom was the commander of US Forces Japan at the time of the tsunami. His job was to stand up, support and close out all US logistics support of the US Department of Defense's response to the event. In this regard, he was in a very unique position to understand both the challenges and successes associated with the response.
Too often, we think of our military as a "fighting" force. However, in our history, the military has been a force for good. In my opinion, no other nation was in a position to provide the type of support provided by the United States. The reason is that our military were able to to the job!
Tom's biography is below:
