From the Superintendent of United States Air Force Academy: “In this time of adversity and uncertainty, we are deeply grateful to be part of the Front Range community. So many people have reached out to ask what they could do to show their support for the Class of 2020.” Vance Thompson of Stevens County and a graduate of Moscow High School, is a member of this class. ⁣ ⁣

The Superintendent continued to say, “Please join the celebration April 18 by displaying an American flag or handmade banner in your window or on your front porch with hashtag #USAFAGrad2020. You can also tune into the Livestream and leave a comment for the graduates and their families.”

The Livestream can be found on Facebook or the Air Force Academy YouTube channel at 12:00 p.m. – MST for the public to view.

Vance is the son of Valerie and Joe D. Thompson, the grandson of Martha Thompson and Joyce Eckert and fiancé of Gabby Rawlins.

Vance’s next assignment in the Air Force is to continue his education at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia in the fall to pursue his Master in Economics. He will then go on to Pilot Training.

Congratulations Vance! Your hometown is so very proud of you!
