Leadership Event with Medal of Honor Recipients - 2026

A leadership forum where we celebrate the extraordinary leadership qualities exemplified by Medal of Honor recipients, U.S. Army Specialist First Class James “Doc” McCloughan and U.S. Army Major General Pat Brady. These revered individuals transcend their military valor to impart invaluable insights on leadership, effective communication, patriotism, and integrity. Through their personal narratives, attendees will gain a profound understanding of principles that define exemplary leadership both within and beyond the battlefield. This forum is a unique educational opportunity, open to school groups, homeschool collectives, and families. While the event remains free for school groups with one adult chaperone per 15 students, it also warmly invites homeschool participants and families to partake in this rich learning experience. School group registration will commence at 9:00 a.m. on the event day, with general public check-in beginning at 9:30 a.m. Post-event, students can enjoy their lunch under Air Force One, provided they bring brown-bagged meals, followed by a self-guided museum tour. This experience promises to nurture the next generation of leaders by absorbing lessons from the most distinguished figures of our times.
