At noon on Wednesday, Nov. 6, the NAC is set to host its annual Saluting Our Heroes fundraiser luncheon, which is free and open to the public, at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Over the years, the luncheon has evolved to include veterans, active duty personnel and other community partners, said CEO Kevin Stickelman. “But the idea hasn’t changed much,” he said. “The reason to host is to say thank you to the service members who live in this community.” The event features a short presentation about the NAC’s programs and a keynote speech by historian James Bradley, author of “Flags of our Fathers.” The book, which was adapted into a 2006 film directed by Clint Eastwood, is an investigation into the identities and lives of the six Marines who appeared in the iconic photo “Raising the Flag Over Iwo Jima.” “(James) will include his experiences he writes about into what the National Ability Center does day-in and day-out to the people we serve,” Stickelman said. The lunch program will also focus on the mission and programs we offer to the veterans and their family members, Stickelman said. (See accompanying list for a schedule of upcoming military programs) Asking for contributions is also necessary inorder to maintain these programs, and during the event the NAC will ask people to donate any way they can, according to Stickelman. “Some people can do that through volunteering to support the programs or other events,” he said. “Others may come and take part of these programs or a military weekend we host, and lastly, we reach out to those who feel compelled to support our mission financially.” While hearing the keynote speaker and asking for contributions is inspiring, Stickelman said one of the more emotional aspects of the luncheon is seeing all of the service people and their families in one room. “It’s certainly means something to us knowing that the small things we do through our programs really aren’t that small to those to participate,” he said. “These programs tru- COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL ABILITY CENTER James Bradley, above, author of “Flag of Our Fathers” will give the keynote address at the National Ability Center’s “Saluting Our Heroes” luncheon on Nov. 6.

We rely on them for the professional counseling they do, and we provide the recreational aspects of the program.” Today, the military comprise around a quarter of the people the NAC serves, according to Stickelman. “(The) military always has been and will always be a major focus for the National Ability Center,” he said. “It’s certainly a demographic that we continue to expand our services and reach for. It’s certainly part of the DNA of the organization.” |
