Description
Many of the untold stories of our nation’s history and its top-secret missions are vanishing each day as our veterans pass away. As we celebrate our nation's independence this July, come learn about the covertly classified, GAMBIT-3 (KH-8) photographic satellite that assisted our nation in winning the Cold War and mitigated the national consequences of pilot Francis Gary Powers’ CIA U-2 spy plane being shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. Veteran Leroy Mills was a graduate of West Point in 1964, commissioned as Air Force 2d Lt and spent the first 20 years of his career as Active Duty in the Air Force; while the next 20 years were serving with the Department of Defense. Throughout his tenure, mostly all of his experience was working with top secret information.
