UNITY IN THE SKIES
Karlton Johnson, Chairman of the National Space Society’s Board of Governors
Years ago, I had an experience that impacted me profoundly and reinforced my belief that the future of humanity is truly written in the stars.
I was an officer serving in the U.S. military, stationed in Iraq supporting Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Our team was responsible for assisting the Iraqi Ministries of Defense and Interior and the Counter Terrorism Service to improve the Iraqi Security Force’s institutional performance. That support would help them to assume full responsibility for population protection, leading them toward the goal of becoming a self-sufficient nation.
