On behalf of Major General James Richardson, Commanding General, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, please join us for the Operational Leadership Perspective hosted by AMCOM 2014 Advanced LIFT Class. The event will be Thursday, 23 October, at 1000, at the Bob Jones Auditorium, Sparkman Center, Building 5304, Martin Road, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Keynote Speaker: Mr. Noah Galloway Sergeant Noah Galloway (retired) is an athlete, a motivational speaker, a writer, a personal trainer and a father of three. Following September 11, 2001, he enlisted in the Army and was eventually deployed to Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division in 2003. Noah spent one year fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom, which he says got him hooked and from that moment he knew he wanted to return. I loved my job as an infantry soldier, says Noah. In the first year I was there, I saw the difference and progress we were making. I could not wait to return. Just the thought of going back thrilled me. After becoming a husband and father, he returned for a second tour in September 2005. It was only three months later when the armored HUMVEE he was driving struck an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Yusafiah, Iraq. Unconscious for five days, Noah woke late Christmas Eve, in Walter Reed Hospital, to find out he had lost his left arm above the elbow and left leg above the knee, and had sustained significant injury to his jaw and other leg. He sums it up simply: I was done. His recovery was as rough emotionally as it was physically, overcoming both depression and divorce. Since then, he has remarried and has dedicated himself to fitness, both mental and physical. Despite his injuries, Noah has participated in the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon, three warrior Dash events, 7 Tough Mudder events, a Barbarian Challenge, a dozen Spartan events, the grueling 58-hour Spartan Death Race, the Bataan Death March Marathon, 3 Crossfit competitions and several 5k and 10k races. His incredible achievements and ability to overcome adversity have landed him on next months cover of Mens Health magazine as the first-ever Ultimate Mens Health Guy. Noah is determined to inspire others by his actions, by training like a machine and demonstrating that challenges are meant to be conquered no matter how big they might be. (See attached photo).
