Our keynote speaker will be COL (Ret.) Lawrence “Larry” Saul who has served over 34 years in the U.S. Army, including global assignments and three tours with the British
Army, retiring as the Senior U.S. Army Liaison Officer to the British Army. A Vietnam War veteran and recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal, he was later inducted
into the U.S. Army Officers Candidate School Hall of Fame. In his retirement, he worked internationally as a consultant, educator, and currently speaks as a military historian,
leading WWI and II European Battlefield tours and lecturing on military history.

Veteran and Patriotic organizations are encouraged to set up display tents and tables to provide Veteran resources and support. Individuals owning refurbished military vehicles
and equipment are also encouraged to set up displays beginning at 10:00am. The Foundation will announce an additional 4 names to the Phase III Wall of Honor. All
