Guest Speaker
Matt Eversmann
First Sergeant (ret) Matt Eversmann personifies the qualities of duty, courage and
selfless service to succeed when ordinary circumstances become extraordinary challenges.
On October 3, 1993, Matt was placed in charge of a group of Army Rangers to lead a
daytime raid against an eager enemy militia. His inspiring story of survival was immortalized
in the epic film, Black Hawk Down, which recounts the harrowing experience. For his
actions on the battlefield he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Valor device.
During his remaining time in uniform, he worked at the Army War College, taught at
The Johns Hopkins University and was finally deployed to Iraq where he lived with
the Iraqi Army for 15 months during The Surge. He remained on active duty until May
of 2008, when he retired after 20 years of service.
