| Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, USAF (ret.) Speaks to JINSA Friends in Aspen Colorado |
 On September 15, Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, USAF (ret.) spoke to JINSA friends in Aspen, CO. This was the first in a series of events that will take place in a variety of new locations for JINSA. General Gould was the 18th Superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy and participated on JINSA's 2014 Generals and Admirals Program in Israel. He spoke of his observations and experiences on the ground in Israel regarding the country's unique security challenges to over thirty people, including mostly first-time attendees to a JINSA event. JINSA looks forward to continuing to grow in Aspen, as well as nationally, and continues to accomplish its mission by having influential, recently retired American generals and admirals educate policymakers, members of Congress and their staffs, the media, and key community leaders about their lessons learned in Israel.

American power, both within and without the battlespace, will only be realized when power is guided by a comprehensive, coherent and realistic strategy.
