Veterans Day Reception at NACC
Veterans Day Reception NACC will host a community-wide Veterans Day reception on Thursday, November 9, at 10:00 a.m. in the Tom Bevill Lyceum. Refreshments will follow the program, and the college extends an invitation to anyone who wishes to attend. We especially want to welcome all local veterans and the family members of veterans to this program.
This year’s guest speaker will be Chief Master Sergeant Eric M. Dudash and Phantom the Service Dog. Chief Master Sergeant Eric M. Dudash retired from active duty with the United States Air Force on 1 December 2018. Spending over 30 years in service, Chief Dudash has been engaged in every conflict since Desert Shield & Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, and multiple other engagements including hostage rescue and drug interdiction. Along with his new battle buddy “Phantom”, they mentor other veterans in the Warrior Freedom Service Dogs program, help veterans receiving Hospice Care, are members of the Fort Payne Patriots Park Board, and speak to school classrooms across the state, as well as businesses about teamwork, resiliency, and servant leadership.
We hope to see you next Thursday!
