Join us for an inspiring conversation with Captain Charlie who flew 74 successful combat missions in the Vietnam War before being captured and held as a prisoner of war for nearly six years as Glenn and Mindy kick off National Military Appreciation Month.
In 2011, Glenn was the youngest member ever inducted into The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans. The Award is given to select Americans, many historical and global change makers, in recognition of personal and professional success despite challenging starts in life. Members must have also made giving back to others an imperative cornerstone of their success. Horatio Alger Members personally fund and award $9 million dollars annually in college scholarships to thousands of young students who demonstrate strength in the face of adversity, using their extreme hardships as motivators for achievement. In 2013, Glenn became the youngest member elected to the Association's prestigious Board of Directors.
