Your SGI team works hard to find the best and brightest guest speakers to bring to you at each Expo. We are very excited to announce your next guest speaker, who will be on stage Thursday, September 24th, at 9 am! You will have the opportunity to meet Major Dan Rooney, Founder of Folds of Honor!
President George Bush and Major Dan Rooney
Shortly after returning from his second tour as an F-16 fighter pilot in Iraq, fate would change Major Dan Rooney’s life forever. He will tell you it was synchronicity—chance with a purpose that placed him as a passenger on United Flight 664.
Rooney witnessed Corporal Brad Bucklin escort his twin brother Corporal Brock Bucklin home from Iraq. Rooney watched Brock’s four-year-old son standing helpless on the tarmac as his father’s flag-draped casket inched down the cargo ramp. At that moment, Rooney was called on a mission to ensure that the sacrifices of America’s heroes—our fallen military personnel—would never go unappreciated or unrewarded.
Rooney founded Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that has raised over $70 million and has awarded nearly 8000 educational scholarships to the family members of soldiers killed or disabled in combat.
During his presentation, Rooney will share his inspiring story of combat and serving others while highlighting the importance of faith, teamwork, accountability, and finding your life’s mission. His captivating stories empower others with the skills to identify the moments of synchronicity guiding their lives and leave them with a road map to become a positive force for change.
Rooney is the author of the moving life story A Patriot’s Calling: Living Life Between Fear and Faith. He has been awarded with numerous honors for his philanthropy and patriotism and named People magazine’s “Hero of the Year” and ABC World News’ “Person of the Year.”
