ABOUT SALUTE TO AMERICA'S VETERANS

We are pleased to present the 20th Annual Salute to America's Veterans.  This event will raise funds to benefit two extraordinary organizations: USO DFW and George W. Bush Institute Military Service Initiative.

This outstanding event honors the contributions of veterans across the generations for maintaining our freedom and liberty, and raises funds for two organizations that are transforming the lives of our active military, our veterans and their families.  We ask you to consider playing a role in supporting this wonderful event.

The Rotary Club of Dallas is excited to announce a new initiative that combines community spirit and support for our local youth! We are partnering with the Scouts of America to launch a flag program aimed at raising funds for our club while promoting patriotism and community pride.

Through this program, members of the community can sponsor flags to be displayed on their properties during designated holidays and special events. Not only will this beautify our neighborhoods, but it will also help fund the impactful projects and initiatives of the Rotary Club of Dallas.

Come hear how you can join us in this endeavor! Your support will not only benefit our club but also empower the Scouts of America in their mission. Together, we can make a difference in our community.

Dr. Greg Smith, CEO of White Rock Center of Hope will share "The Story of Hope: Creating an East Dallas Where We All Thrive".

"From the Pacific to Pleasant Grove!"

Our speaker, Admiral Patrick Walsh is an amazing Dallas native who has a special message about the success of Cristo Rey, a college prep school in Pleasant Grove. Admiral Walsh graduated with Honors from Jesuit College Prep in Dallas then went on to the U.S. Naval Academy. He flew in combat missions off aircraft carriers and then flew with the Blue Angles. The plane he flew as a Blue Angle is in the Frontiers of Flight Museum. Walsh became the youngest four-star Admiral in the Navy.

Throughout his naval career, he held several key positions, including Vice Chief of Naval Operations, and was Commander of the biggest fleet in the Navy, the Pacific Fleet. He played a key role when the U.S. provided assistance to Japan following the earthquake, tsunami, and radiation disaster of 2011.

While this American leader could easily hold a cushy, high-paying job with some U.S. defense contractor, he is instead shepherding, with amazing success, Christo Rey College Prep.
