Today, UW-Whitewater is a leading comprehensive university serving approximately 11,842 full- and part-time students with 50 undergraduate majors, 13 master’s degree programs, one doctoral degree and one education specialist degree in the colleges of Arts and Communication, Business and Economics, Education and Professional Studies, Integrated Studies, and Letters and Sciences. The university awards more than 2,700 degrees every year. Throughout its history, UW-Whitewater has produced graduates who have actively contributed to the growth of the state and nation. Student learning is the paramount focus of the university’s programs and services. The university takes pride in its regional leadership, national presence and global vision. Many of its academic programs are among the best in the country. 1 Student Speaker Brian Martinez For Brian Martinez, becoming a Warhawk meant finding a place to plant roots.

  • ACE BIRTHDAYS JOIN the FRIENDS of the AMERICAN FIGHTER ACES MAY - JULY (Auxiliary of the American Fighter Aces Association)
    American Fighter Aces and Friends The Bulletin of the American Fighter Aces Association April 2018 | Volume 35, No 2 Dick Fleischer: Thunderbolt Over New Guinea Association President's Message Dear Aces, Friends, Survivors, and Honorees: Our Ace's Association was founded in 1960, recognizing the 1450 combat pilots that qualified as Aces for action in World War I, WW II. Korea and Vietnam. In individual combat they contributed to the security of our country in times of war. Since that day, membership in the Association has continued to inspire patriotism and set a high example for our youth in America. Our mission each year is to remind our public of the commitment the pilots had, to remain confident and courageous. It seemed to always be one on one or against the odds, playing the hand they were dealt. Betting it all. The Association's commitment transcends time and continues to be the direction we want to go. I have a large number of helpers in getting the Association's day's work done and I owe many a "Thank You" for their efforts. The Board of Directors officers give continually of their time on com- mittees and are joined by Friends and volunteers to participate in study groups. In order to continue our mission of the future as an educational organization a few changes will have to be made and will require help of some strong donors to get good results. I encourage our Friends of the AFAA to help us in advice, suggestions and recruited a larger membership for support.

  • Colonel Clarence E. “Bud” Anderson Military Combat
    Colonel Clarence E. “Bud” Anderson Military Combat Enshrined 2008, 1922-Present As a fighter pilot with over 7,500 hours logged in over 130 types of aircraft, Bud Anderson once named his top three aircraft. The P-51, he said, because, “it’s a beautiful aircraft, flies like it looks, and the Merlin engine has an incredible sound.” He considers the F-86 “the fighter pilot’s fighter.” And the F-15, “Well, it has all the latest bells and whistles.” But when comparing the aircraft of the 1940s to today technical marvels, he exclaimed, “My, what I would have given for a GPS during World War II!” • Anderson served two combat tours in Europe, flying 116 missions the P-51 Mustang and was a triple ace. • During Vietnam, he commanded the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing, flying F-105s on bombing strikes against enemy supply lines. • Anderson was decorated 26 times for his military service. Biography Born in Oakland, California January 13, 1922, he spent his early years on a farm near Newcastle, California. When he was 7, his father took him to a small dirt airfield where he got his first ride in a Stearman biplane. It was intoxicating, exciting and a little frightening Anderson recalls. Anderson learned to fly at age 19, while attending college in 1941, through the Civilian Pilot Training Program. In January 1942, he entered the U.S. Army Aviation Cadet program, earning his wings and commission in September 1942. During World War II, Anderson served two combat tours, escorting heavy bombers over Europe in the P51 Mustang.
