Seven Little Rock Air Force Base Airmen will get a chance to celebrate the Air Force’s 60th Anniversary thanks to the Air Force Association.

The organization known for being “The Force Behind the Force” stepped forward Tuesday and picked up the tab for some of the Air Force’s youngest members to attend the Little Rock Air Force Base Military Ball Sept. 22.

AFA officials said they want the Airmen to have a chance to celebrate their service’s birthday with other members.

The AFA is an independent, nonprofit, civilian organization promoting public understanding of aerospace power and the pivotal role it plays in the security of the nation.

The challenge is on, according to Cynde Maddox, 314th Airlift Wing Public Affairs and AFA member.

The organization is encouraging other private organizations to help more Airmen be able to celebrate the Air Force’s Diamond Jubilee starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Arkansas Statehouse Convention Center.

Dress for civilians is black tie or formal, officers is mess dress, and enlisted is mess dress or semi-formal (service dress). See unit representatives for more information. Hope to see you there!
