Wounded Warrior to Speak at NCC on Nov. 3

In anticipation of Veterans Day, Northampton Community College’s Band of Brothers club will host Hugh Conlon, a retired Army medic and member of the Wounded Warrior Project, on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 11 a.m. in the David A. Reed Community Room in College Center on the Main Campus.

Conlon, who left service as a Sergeant First Class, served in more than 350 combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Honduras, Panama and Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and has received awards including the Combat Medical Badge and Bronze Star. He will share his story and talk about the Wounded Warrior Project.

Band of Brothers will accept donations for the Wounded Warrior Project during the event. The Wounded Warrior Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. It serves to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women. The project hopes to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the service members' needs.
