The keynote speaker for this year’s event is Clayton M. Peterson, a veteran of the Vietnam War and the author of “A Million to One and Lived”, a miraculous story of survival.

In 1969 [Peterson] was in the Mobile Riverine Force in the Mekong River Delta, was wounded on his third major firefight, and spent thirteen months in various military hospitals recovering from his thirty-eight major wounds; by a ‘Million to One’ chance, he miraculously lived.

He received two Purple Hearts, a Combat Infantry Badge, an Army Commendation Medal, and various other awards. –A Million to One and Lived, by Clayton M. Peterson, back cover
