The Academy Ladies & Gentlemen
The Academy Ladies and Gentlemen group, loosely modeled after the Arlington Ladies, is a volunteer group of women and men that serve the families of the deceased by extending kindness and compassion at the services they attend. It is the ALAG’s distinguished honor to represent military families, from all branches of service, at the deceased’s final tribute. An ALAG representative provides the family with a personalized condolence card and offers words of gratitude on behalf of all military families for their loved ones service and sacrifice, while also acknowledging the support and sacrifices of the deceased member’s family. Through the ALAG’s dedication and kindness they have made a tremendous impact on family members of the deceased laid to rest at the U.S. Air Force Academy Cemetery.
