Closing Luncheon/Closing Ceremony with James Bradley

Thursday, September 18, 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm

Best selling author, James Bradley will close our meeting on a note of patriotism that only he can strike. His realistic portrayals of the Pacific theatre of World War II rose from actual interviews with the servicemen themselves and family and friends of those depicted. Bradley burst onto the national scene as an author in 2000 with his book Flags of Our Fathers. The book, released as a movie in 2007, is about the six young men who raised the American flag on Iwo Jima. One of the men in the famous photograph of that event is Bradley’s father, Navy corpsman John Bradley. Join your peers for this closing session and truly inspiring message.
