"He was incrediblly outgoing, fun, sarcastic, liked to hang out, did not matter who with or where. He was my best friend – there's not one thing I will remember that I can narrow down to. I will remember a lot."

(Ryan Hall's alma mater)
On Veterans Day (11/11/2019), Air Force Jr. ROTC Cadet Genevieve Pace, and her teammates, led their high school's Veterans Day program and presented the first-ever iHonor Flag commemorating a GWOT Fallen at his/her alma mater. In this case, the hand-inscribed, story-telling iHonor Flag commemorates USAF Captain Ryan Hall, a 2000 graduate of Pine Creek HS.
WATCH & LISTEN to Cadet Pace set the bar high, with a perfect, emotion-stirring presentation, in front of her high school classmates - all 1,600+ of them. And, at the end, the Principal tells students that the Captain Hall's iHonor Flag will be hung inside the library for students to be reminded of Ryan Hall's sacrifice and engage with his digital tribute relayed by his Flag.

iHonor American Flag : Visitor Comments for U.S. Air Force Captain Ryan Hall

Captain Hall, I am honored to be a small part of Air Academy Kadet Genevieve Pace's special tribute to you. I know you would be proud of her initiative, leadership, and dedication to honor our Global War on Terror Fallen, like you. Her courage, step out of the ranks, and present this iHonor Flag paying tribute to you is similar to how you stepped out of the ranks to become a special operations pilot. I hope Kadet Pace's story and tribute to you motivates other students to think about defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others - like you did so admirably.
