Highland Village Rotary Club and local Italian restaurant to host Medal of Honor museum speaker

The event will feature speakers from the museum such as Jessica Saddler, a Flower Mound resident that has more than 20 years of experience with non-profits and veterans. That includes time spent in Washington D.C. at the World War II Museum.

Her goal for the event is to inspire audiences to live out their values and to embody the Medal of Honor.

Highland Village Rotary Club president-elect Candy Wade said she invites anyone from the community, especially veterans, to join the dinner.

“Our rotary is very involved in veteran programs,” she said. “So we’re inviting the community, veterans and first responders to come out. We’re excited with Memorial Day fast approaching to have the museum come to us and present their program.”

The program will share information on what the museum does, what is has on display and how it was designed. Wade said she has heard lots of good reviews on the museum.

“Architecturally, it’s just beautiful,” she said. “And everyone I know that has gone through it said it was just inspiring.”

Wade hopes the informational session will build some interest in organizing a tour for a group of veterans from the community.

Other ways the Highland Village Rotary Club supports veterans is through donations and different programs and events. One is Carry the Load, which is where member John Kohlschein will be instead of the May 15 event.
