<p>A member of the Class of 1986, Commander Kelly recalled attending Mets games as a Kings Point midshipman: “They let us in for free in our uniforms.” He threw the first pitch at Shea Stadium September 25.</p>

<p>A veteran of two space shuttle missions, he said, “For me personally, I hope to fly the space shuttle again. If I’m really lucky, two more times.”</p>

<p>Congratulations Commander Kelly!</p>
