Title: 5th Annual African American Heritage Celebration: Black Veterans with Success, Their History, Health and Commitment to Excellence

Veterans today are exposed to a variety of issues, both home and abroad. It takes a strong will, government and civil support, understanding and sometimes innovative approaches to break barriers and achieve well-earned success. Guest panelists will exemplify ways that success can be achieved as they share their stories with us. Soldiers & Sailors Historian John L. Ford will moderate the discussion with three achievers that represent the best of military and social accomplishment. They include individuals from our Air Force and Army.


PANELISTS INCLUDE:

Captain Darren Rogers,
171st Division, U. S. Air Force

Sergeant E-5, S.D.V. Richard D. Portis,
U. S. Army

Colonel Edmund D. Effort, DDS
(retired) U. S. Air Force
 

Also joining the group will be Ms. Heather Steel with the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System Minority Veterans Program. She will answer questions about VA health care and other specific military health related issues.

All military and veterans are invited
and encouraged to attend.
