2023 FEATURED KEYNOTE SPEAKER!


Col. Mark W.Tillman

Colonel, United States Air Force (Retired)-

Chosen as the nation's 12th Presidential pilot, Colonel (ret) Mark W. Tillman served as pilot and commander of Air Force One from 2001-2009. Col. Tillman was at the controls of Air Force One through numerous national events. Most notably, he protected the President on September 11, 2001 by keeping him out of harms way and connecting the flying oval office to the nation's first responders.

Another historic event was being the first pilot to fly the Commander-in-Chief into a war zone. The challenge was unprecedented--transport the most targeted man in the world into the heart of terrorism. One mistake would have left the President open to attack and cost the lives of US service members. Col. Tillman personally orchestrated and executed the covert operation with flawless success. His planning, done in complete secrecy, allowed for a complete surprise to the entire world.

Col. Tillman's distinguished career spans 30 years in the United States Air Force. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in 2004 and promoted to Brigadier General by the President of the United States--the first military line officer to receive this honor. For political reasons this was not confirmed by the Senate, hence Tillman retired as a Colonel.

A man devoted to serving his country, this captivating storyteller will give you a first-hand account of remarkable moments in history.

2023 SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER!


Jennifer Jenkins

Wounded Warrior Project-

Jennifer Jenkins understands the complexities of being a full-time caregiver. “I had to start from scratch finding the answers,” says Jennifer. “My brother’s care required a unique set of skills that my background did not include. That’s why the connections I’ve made through Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) have been invaluable.”

In 2005, her brother James was wounded in combat while on a mission with his Army Stryker Brigade in Iraq. James endured a traumatic brain injury (TBI), partial hearing and vision loss, damage to his spine, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Jennifer discovered WWP when another injured veteran invited James and his family to the Chicago Air & Water Show. They almost didn’t make the trip. “It’s a challenge for my brother to travel,” says Jennifer. “At the time, we didn’t know any other military families going through what we were going through. A support structure for us didn’t exist – or so we thought.” That outing to the air show was the beginning of a life-changing experience for Jennifer’s family.

Now, she says they have a team of people through WWP who are eager to provide support. Perhaps most important was her discovery of the WWP Independence Program, which has helped James live on his own without sacrificing the care he needs. “Wounded Warrior Project has been life-changing for us,” says Jennifer. “The progress I’ve seen my brother make and the growth I have experienced have inspired me to help others.” Jennifer’s journey has helped her understand the sacrifices, challenges, and unmet needs that caregivers face every day.

Her message of love and support is clear and empathetic: “I do not see my brother’s needs as a burden. If I had to drop everything to help him, I would and, quite frankly, I sometimes have. Thankfully, Wounded Warrior Project is always there to help us, too.” Today, Jennifer wonders what life would be like if she had declined the invitation to attend the air show. “The people who have helped our family truly made a difference,” says Jennifer. “I look forward to helping as many people as I can and tell them, ‘you can make a difference too.’ We are all better together.”
