Military Book Signing Event at the Airborne & Special Ops Museum

On Friday, Nov. 9, the Airborne & Special Operations Museum is set to host a book signing. The Making of Our Warrior by Jeff Falkel tells the story of Chris Falkel through his father’s eyes. Chris was a Green Beret during Operation Enduring Freedom. He saved the lives of 16 Afghan National Army Soldiers as well as the lives of several in his detachment.

The younger Falkel was awarded the Silver Star Medal (posthumously). His father, Jeff, shares the stories of his son’s unit, the men of Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha 316. The book signing is at 4 p.m.

Afterwards, at 5:30 p.m., don’t miss the flag dedication ceremony and paver unveiling. The ceremony is to honor Medal of Honor recipients and those killed in action. There will also be a ceremony to honor Spec. Carl D. Hall III who was killed in action. Hall was a member of the 325 Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division. A paver stone in his honor will be installed in front of the Iron Mike Statue on the museum grounds.
