You are invited to a Distinguished Speaker Series dinner event on Sept. 26, 2024, at the Riverfront Community Center in downtown Leavenworth, Kansas (123 S. Esplanade St.). A reception begins at 5:30 p.m., the buffet dinner starts at 6 p.m. and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m.

The U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division (1st ID), familiarly known as the Big Red One, adapted to dynamic battlefield conditions throughout the course of its deployment during World War II by innovating and altering behavior, including tactics, techniques, and procedures. Both the division’s leaders and Soldiers accomplished this by thinking critically about their experiences in combat and wasting little time in putting lessons learned to good use. Simply put, they learned on the job — in battle and after battle — and did so quickly. In this edition of our Distinguished Speaker Series, Retired Army Colonel Greg Fontenot will provide details about the 1st ID’s experiences in WWII he researched and wrote about in his recently published book No Sacrifice Too Great.

Tickets are $35/person in advance or $40/person at the door.
