The Tribute to Heroes Evening Program
Keynote: Benjamin Hall
Benjamin Hall is veteran war reporter and has worked in war zones like Syria and Afghanistan. Last spring, in Ukraine, Hall and his crew were hit by a multi-sequential Russian drone strike. Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and journalist Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshinova, who were working alongside him, were killed. Hall himself was gravely injured.
He joins us to share how his spirit has remained undaunted, buoyed by that remarkable corps of people from around the world – whose collective determination ensured his survival, his coworkers who fought for his safe return, and his family who supported him at every turn. Ultimately, this trauma, the greatest of his life, serves as a pivotal reminder to us all of the fundamental goodness in the world, illuminating how the horrors of war can bring about the best in humanity, and how everything can change in an instant.
Books available for purchase. Meet & Greet with book signing during reception, prior to the evening program.
The Fallen Officers Tribute
The Fallen Officers Tribute reflects on those we have lost over the past year.
To some, they were husbands, wives, parents, children, siblings, friends, and fellow colleagues. To all of us, they were “friend.” And in their last full measure, they served.
“Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
The Above & Beyond Awards
“Its just part of the job.” Often said. And true. In no other profession is the surreal and sublime a daily expectation by superiors and strangers.
No matter the crisis or the challenge, the expectation is that we act with immediacy, empathy, decisively, and wisely based often on limited information and even less time.
We recognize these worthy peers for their efforts and contributions.
