Sect. Ray LaHood’s announcement that he will not stay for another term is bittersweet news for the Academy. He has been a champion for the Academy over the past four years. All graduates owe him a hearty “Well Done” and we wish him peace and success in his retirement years. We keep our fingers crossed the next Secretary of Transportation has the love and respect for the Academy that Mr. LaHood has shown. 2013 will be an interesting year in many ways. At least, with a bold new Superintendent at the helm, the Academy is on firm footing as it implements the new Strategic Plan. Our continued support to Rear Admiral Helis is critical. Let’s pray that President Obama picks Mr. LaHood’s replacement wisely and that he/she understands the value of KP.
