American Legion Ronald Reagan – Palisades Post 283 will host an Evening of Honor on Saturday, November 18, celebrating Medal of Honor recipients and connecting them with the community.
“The event will highlight the heroic actions of recipients such as Lt. Col. William D. Swenson, Staff Sgt. Ryan Pitts, Master Sgt. Leroy Petry, Specialist 5 James C. McCloughan, Col. (Ret.) Jack Jacobs and Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Gary L. Littrell,” according to the website. “Their incredible stories span conflicts from Vietnam to Afghanistan, each narrative a testament to bravery and selflessness.”
The event will kick off with a Family Interactive Session from 6 to 8 p.m., which extends the invitation to local families to engage with the Medal of Honor recipients.
“This is an opportunity to learn about the six core values of the Medal of Honor: courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, patriotism and citizenship,” according to an event announcement.
Following the Family Interactive Session will be an adult-only Evening Networking Soirée from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. This gathering will feature a “sophisticated” networking opportunity, accompanied by cocktails and appetizers.
“The highlight of the evening will be a riveting panel discussion with the Medal of Honor recipients, offering profound insights into their experiences and the values they hold dear,” the event announcement read.
The Evening of Honor will take place at American Legion Ronald Reagan – Palisades Post 283, located at 15247 La Cruz Drive.
