Join Naperville Responds for Our Veterans when they host the “Strength and Honor” Lunch on Wednesday, April 8, to honor and give thanks to Veterans. This year’s keynote speaker will be Vietnam Veteran Lynn Lowder.

The Lunch will be held at the Sheraton in Lisle, 3000 Warrenville Rd. An 11:30AM arrival and check-in is scheduled with lunch served promptly at noon.

Voluntarily enlisting in the USMC, Lowder went on to serve as an infantry officer and later as a JAG officer. A decorated combat veteran, he served as a team leader with 1st Force Reconnaissance Company (Special Operations) in South Vietnam. His combat experience is profiled in three books: First Force Recon Company – Sunrise at Midnight by Dr. Bill Peters, Inside Force Recon – Recon Marines in Vietnam by Michael Lee Lanning and Ray William Stubbe and Rice Paddy Recon by Andrew Finlayson.

His post-Marine Corps civilian accomplishments are profiled in the book, Above & Beyond: Former Marines Conquer the Civilian World by Rudy Socha and Carolyn Darrow. Lynn is an author, career/life coach, motivational speaker and past board member of for-profit/non-profit entities.

The lunch cost is $50 for individuals and sponsorship opportunities are available for $500.

Sponsorship includes two tickets and name, business or organization in the program. Proceeds from sponsorships will be used to sponsor Veterans attending the lunch from the Hines VA at no charge to them.

Advance online registration is requested by visiting www.nrfov.org and clicking on the Lunch link.
