Each of America’s Service Academies provides a rigorous and comprehensive education to its students, offering undergraduate degrees while training them to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion of the U.S. military. Analogous to traditional universities, after accepting their Congressional appointments, cadets or midshipmen at these academies also receive extensive physical and leadership training and extracurricular activities and sports opportunities. After graduating, each student moves directly into a career as an officer in one of the six branches of the U.S. Military.
There are a number of sponsorship levels available. Please consider supporting this exciting event.
Offering breathtaking views of the Detroit skyline and boasting a modern, stylish vibe this venue is sure to provide a gorgeous setting for a very special evening.
We're excited to announce Rich Luterman as Master of Ceremonies for the Michigan All Academy Ball! Rich is Chief Meteorologist at FOX 2 in Detroit. Originally from Pittsburgh, Rich graduated in 1988 from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology. He was commissioned a second lieutenant through the U.S. Air Force ROTC and served four-and-a-half years on active duty as a weather officer. For six months in 1991, he was a weather detachment commander in Southwest Asia during Operation Desert Storm.
We are looking forward to having Alan C. Mack speak at the event this year! Alan wouldn’t quit on his unit – he couldn’t quit on his family. His story of success, tragedy, and ultimate happiness is as old as warfare itself. Autographed books of Al’s book, Razor 03 will be available at the event.
We look forward to recognizing and celebrating cadets, midshipmen, and commissioned officers from the Classes of 2021-2023 of all five of America’s military academies preparing as our next generation of national leaders. Families of these young leaders also sacrifice in their service and deserve recognition.
