MSgt Joe Ayala represented us this week at the USAF Academy and presented the “First Salute” to newly commissioned Second Lieutenant Valentin Hinojosa (2014 WHHS graduate and former Cadet and Group Commander of our AFJROTC unit) upon receiving his commission as one of the newest officers in the USAF.  MSgt Ayala will share more however it impressed me when he stated our Commander In Chief, when presented the option of saluting and shaking the hands of just a representative number of graduates, the President opted to shake the hands and salute each and all of the 900-plus graduates, stating they all had the right to his respect!
