Shakopee Chamber July Business Builder Luncheon

The is pleased to announce their July Business Builder Luncheon will be held on Thursday, July 12, 2012 from 11:30am-1:00pm at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, MN and is open to the public.

The Shakopee Chamber will be co-hosting this special luncheon with the Eden Prairie Chamber and members and community members will have the honor of hearing from General Edward Daniel Cherry, author of "My Enemy, My Friend," a story of reconciliation from the Vietnam War. Also speaking will be Nguyen Hong My, the MiG pilot. This inspiring book chronicles an intense 1972 dogfight between Dan's F-4 Phantom and North Vietnamese MiG-21 and his subsequent meeting and friendship with the MiG pilot, Nguyen Hong My. 

"At 8 a.m. on April 16, 1972 the four F-4 Phantoms of Basco Flight, each with three external fuel tanks and less than a full load of missiles, roared off Udorn's Runway 12 with Fred Olmsted and Stu Maas leading and Jeff Feinstein and me flying number 3. We jettisoned our empty centerline tanks and accelerated across the border into North Vietnam, heading straight for Hanoi. Enemy surface-to-air radars were on us immediately but we ignored the warnings. Our mission was to kill MiGs.”- Excerpt from My Enemy, My Friend
