Air Force Academy Saber
The United States Air Force Academy is in my city, so it's a big part of our town's culture. For this week's My World post, here are some photos of the saber that graduates are entitled to get. It might be technically defined as a sword, but by tradition it's called a saber.
Before anyone asks, I did not have the privilege of attending the Air Force Academy. For lots more photos from around the world, visit the My World Tuesday meme.

Nice shots of the saber. The intricate designs on the handle are beautiful and I love the bright blue background. I have been to the Air Force Academy in CO and posted photos last year. It is an impressive place to visit.
Love your saber shots, Al, and I, too, love the blue, blue background. Great post for the day! Hope your week is off to a good start! Enjoy!

These saber shots are amazing. Love all the small details. I guess this is hanging on a very special place.

Wonderful and I plan on seeing them in person in June. Just now been looking at B&B's around your town.
Seems like an old-fashioned idea...but a wonderful tradition nonetheless.
Nice shots of the cool looking sabers.
Love those imaes.

that's a pretty shiny thing. never seen one in person.
Nice looking sabers. I really like the fancy grip.
Interesting swords. My brother collects them. He would love these
May they always have two hands full of air beneath their wings, while flying towards peaceful missions !
Great details indeed. Please have a good Tuesday.

For their scholarship and service - a fitting remembrance. Al - you will have a great time skiing - the snow is fabulous! (Dress warmly!)
How long is the saber? I was watching "Everyone loves Raymond," they went for an reenactment. I suppose that was a saber they had.
Superb shots of the sabre!
love that saber. i'm sure the cadets are proud to own one upon their graduating. hope all is well your way. have a great day.
Lovey close-ups. A very proud tradition.
Nice shots!
