President Joe Biden delivered the commencement speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) graduation Thursday, where more than 900 cadets celebrated the start of a new chapter.
The Henrys were one of the hundreds of families who filled the stands at the stadium.

According to those with the USAFA, out of the 921 graduates in the Class of 2023, 270 are women and 285 are people of color. Those two categories make up around a third of the class each. Quinn's younger sister, Viveca, said there ought to be more diversity in every graduating class to better prepare for life after the academy.
