Our Versatile Veterans

Join us for an extraordinary tribute as we honor the men and women who've not only served our country with valor but have continued to impact our lives in remarkable ways. At the heart of this special event is the celebration of our Veterans – true heroes who've graced our nation with their service and talents.

As a token of our gratitude, all Veterans will receive FREE admission to this event. Please visit the Box Office with proof of Veteran status to obtain a complimentary ticket.

Prepare to be inspired as we introduce you to Servicemen who transitioned from the battlefield to shaping our world once again:

• Witness the legend who clinched an astounding 28 Grammy Awards – a true veteran of music.
• Meet the Major Leaguer who still holds the distinction of being the last to bat over 400.
• Greet Television's only 2,000-year-old man and relive moments of laughter and wisdom.

Explore the remarkable stories of heroes turned pioneers:

• The genius behind TV's iconic "All In The Family."
• The entertainer who brought joy from the stages to the battlefields.
• The Mercury Seven, our nation's first astronauts, who dared to venture beyond Earth's bounds.

Take flight with the trailblazers who soared:

• The first man and woman to break the sound barrier.
• WWI heroes who became the presidents of leading airlines.
• College boys who took to the skies during WWI.
• Share a laugh with the original host of the first Tonight Show. Hear the story of the leader behind the April 1942 Tokyo surprise attack.

Our host, Charlie Grinker, a Korean War veteran, embodies the spirit of service and excellence. He's not only received accolades including Emmy, Peabody, and the Cable ACE award but was also recently honored with The Key to the City by the City of Clermont.
