Unparalleled Commitment and Leadership in Severe Situations

Remember the movie "Blackhawk Down"?  This special night will be spent with Colonel Danny McKnight.  Colonel McKnight's military career included combat duty on two occasions - Panama 1989 and Somalia 1993 (basis for the Book and Movie "Black Hawk Down").  Colonel McKnight's awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit (2 awards), the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Ranger Tab, the Master Parachutist Badge with Combat Star, and the Pathfinder Badge.  After completing 28 and one-half years of service to our country, Colonel McKnight returned to his hometown in Florida.  
The Colonel has served in two Homeland Security related positions in Brevard County, Florida...as the Homeland Security Coordinator for the County's Emergency Management Office, then as the Homeland Security Training Coordinator in the Criminal Justice Center at Brevard Community College.  Colonel McKnight now focuses all his efforts on being a nationwide motivational speaker.  
Colonel McKnight will speak with us about understanding the unparalleled commitment and leadership required to be successful when executing operations in the most difficult and severe situations.
This is a night you do not want to miss!
During the night we will be asking about the Colonel's new book, "Streets Of Mogadishu".
