The program includes an honor guard, live music, and a program featuring keynote speaker United States Marine Chief Warrant Officer-4 Randy Gaddo (Ret.).  In 1983, Randy Gaddo was in Beirut, Lebanon with the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit, as part of a multination peacekeeping force.  He was there in October 1983 when terrorists drove a truck bomb into the U.S. barracks, killing 240 U.S. Servicemen. Being one of the lucky ones to not be hurt, he was part of crew who helped look for survivors, clean up the bomb site, and retrieve the bodies of those who lost their lives.
