In 1919, United States President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed, “There is only one power to put behind the liberation of mankind, and that is the power of mankind. It is the power of the united moral forces of the world…” Today, this mission of peace continues around the globe. Since 1948, United Nations Peacekeepers have worked to separate warring parties and to protect people from the effects of armed conflict.
Join us in commemorating the 75th anniversary of United Nations peacekeeping with a panel featuring international military officers currently studying at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The officers have served in U.N. peacekeeping missions and will discuss their most challenging and rewarding experiences, as well as questions surrounding our collective responsibility to protect civilians and the peace.
Doors open at 6 p.m. with a free reception. Panel begins at 6:30 p.m.
FREE with RSVP | Auditorium and Lobby
