Scott's View: Celebration of Freedom Gala
Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO
Veterans Advantage TopVet Bruce Whitman checked in with a great update from his work as co-chairman of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation (CMoHF), and his recent stop late last month at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for the fifth annual "Celebration of Freedom" gala.
Co-hosts for the evening were Mr. David McIntyre, President & CEO of TriWest Healthcare Alliance and a Foundation board member, actor, entertainer of U.S. troops, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner, and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, Mr. Gary Sinise, and businessman, Mr. Bruce Brereton.
Bruce Whitman personally was on hand for the presentation of the Circle of Honor Award to the Honorable Robert Gates, who served as Defense Secretary from 2006 to 2011. It was star studded affair of heroes of past and present, including MoH recipient/Afghanistan War veteran Sal Giunta.
"Another great American evening," Bruce told me.
Hat's off to Bruce for once again perpetuating the legacy of the Medal of Honor.
