U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- The Air Force Academy Official Facebook page reached 100,000 fans this weekend, a remarkable achievement for the page since its creation in 2009.

"We are so excited and thankful for our fanbase," said Staff Sgt. Heather Stanton, the Academy's social media manager. "We try to put out the best products so everyone can see what is going on here at the Academy."

The Academy Facebook page is the second biggest official Facebook page throughout the Air Force, and has been the main communication outlet for posting USAFA news, photos, videos and announcements to fans and followers across the globe.

"Facebook grew so fast because we keep our followers informed on current Academy news," said David Cannon, director of communications for the Academy. "We strive to engage our followers, provide up-to-the-minute news, squash rumors and answer questions."

We encourage our followers to continue to "like and share" us so we can reach our next goal of 500,000 fans.

"We are always striving to improve and make the Facebook page even better, so if you have any suggestions, please contact us and give us feedback," Stanton said.
