Keynote Speaker: Captain Ben Harrow
Captain Ben Harrow, a graduate of Woodberry Forest School in Virginia and the United States Military Academy, distinguished himself as a 4-year letterman on the Army Lacrosse team, earning the “Unsung Hero” Award in his senior year for his selfless contributions. Commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Infantry, he attended Airborne School, Infantry Officer Basic Course, and Ranger School before leading an Infantry Platoon with the 1st Cavalry Division on a 15-month deployment to Iraq. Upon his return, CPT Harrow was selected for Special Forces, earning his Green Beret in 2010 and serving as a Detachment Commander on multiple deployments to Afghanistan.
On May 15, 2012, CPT Harrow was critically injured by an IED, resulting in the loss of both legs above the knee, two fingers, and other injuries. Refusing to be defined by his circumstances, he pioneered a medical procedure that enabled him and other wounded service members to regain mobility. Now residing in Boca Raton, FL, with his wife and two children, CPT Harrow serves as President of PAM JETS, a private aviation management company. His valor and dedication have been recognized with three Bronze Stars, a Purple Heart, and numerous commendations.
