The College Football Hall of Fame on May 16 elected former Air Force Academy football star Chad Hennings to its roll of honor, among 12 other players and two coaches out of a field of 77. Hennings played defensive lineman, becoming a first-team All-American in 1987. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys upon graduation in 1988, but he first served four years on active duty, flying A-10s. He joined the Cowboys in 1992, playing for nine years.
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
