Forney ISD AFJROTC Hosts 10th Annual Military Ball
The Forney ISD Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) recently held their 10th Annual Forney ISD Military Ball at the Hilton Harbor Hotel in Rockwall, Texas on Sunday, Feb. 18 to recognize the TX-20081 Cadets.
The Military Ball included the traditional posting of the Nation’s Colors followed by a powerful Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) tribute ceremony. Several toasts were held to honor military and civilian leaders.
The guest speaker at the event was 2nd Lt. Fiona Akoth, one of the first cadets in the Forney ISD AFJROTC program in 2008. Akoth graduated from Forney High School in 2011 and then graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with honors. She is currently a pilot stationed in Florida, flying U-28A Slayer for the Air Force Special Operations Command.
The evening concluded with a dance for the cadets.
