"Honor Bound" A Portrait in Courage - A Heritage Minute Special
Heritage Minute host, Steve Simon recently welcomed Jim Nance, USAFA Class of ’71, and Major Joe Flescher, Class of ’14 to the studio. Jim is a renowned sculptor and created the 2,000 lb. "Honor Bound - A Portrait in Courage" plaque now mounted on the east exterior wall of USAFA's Southeast Asia Pavilion. Maj. Flescher served as his model.
Jim Nance has made a name for himself by being an amazing sculptor. Examples of his work abound at the Academy, including at the Air Warrior Combat Memorial near the B-52 inside the North Gate and on the Heritage Trail outside Doolittle Hall.
