ANA; teamed with Navy League, Retired Officer's Association, and Submarine Vets enjoyed a great evening of music, food, wine and best of all - socializing with a group of individuals who are like-minded with regard to supporting our active duty and reserve military.
On a beautiful Fall evening, sixty individuals came together; shared sea stories and plans for a growing future in the Nebraska heartland.
I would be remiss not to thank Deer Springs, our caterer and the Guitar Trio for making the evening both enjoyable and memorable.
The award for the most attendees goes to the Submarine Vets who recurited the largest number of participants. Many thanks to all who were there and in particular to the USSTRATCOM J3 and his spouse who joined in on the fun.
We would like to make next year's event even bigger and perhaps tie it to a formal USSTRATCOM or other sponsored event like the STRATCOM birthday or Navy birthday ball.
If you have any feedback on ways to enhance next year's event; please pass them along.
