Operation Salute: Soldier's Paradise

Operation Salute: Soldier's Paradise
Operation Salute: Soldier's Paradise welcomes you to an evening of Rest & Relaxation (R&R) complete with hula dancers, a delicious meal, an open bar, games, live music and entertainment. Kick off your shoes, dig your toes into the sand, and watch the boats in the water as you enjoy the "ocean" breezes and sip cold drinks. Highlighting this fabulous night in the "tropics" will be the opportunity to hear our respected and renowned speakers.

Our keynote speaker for the evening will be Mr.Steffan Tubbs, Co-Host, Colorado's Morning News on KOA NewsRadio. Steffan is a four-time winner of the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award for national reporting and has covered major events including the 9/11 recovery from Ground Zero, the Oklahoma city bombing as well as Super Bowls and World Series coverage during his 25 years in the news industry in Los Angeles, New York and Denver.

His experiences have instilled in him a passion for bringing awareness to the issues our service members face with Post Traumatic Stress and the tragedy of veteran suicides. Steffan makes meaningful documentary films, including his latest film, ACRONYM, for which he is the Executive Producer and Director. Steffan is also a published author, his first book Life, Liberty and Resilience - the story of a segregated WWII Iwo Jima veteran who grew up in rural Mississippi was turned into his first film of the same title released in 2013. Steffan's second film Droughtland, about the devastating conditions faced by ranchers and farmers in southern Colorado, was released to critical acclaim. His topic at Operation Salute will be the importance of recognizing veterans, military suicides, and the making of his film ACRONYM.
Join us for a wonderful evening celebrating our Veterans enjoying a "South Pacific" island evening.
