Save the date! Saturday, November 14th at 1pm our very own Dick Benach will take up the role of Junior Officer Robert Zavel. Lieutenant Colonel Zavel was assigned to the security detail protecting President Lincoln at the Summer White House located just north of Washington, D.C.

LTC Zavel had almost daily contact with the President, and observed Mr. Lincoln with family members, guests, and official visitors. Lt. Colonel Zavel (Dick Benach) will share some personal memories and will read some of the President’s oral and written messages addressed to the people and country he loved so well… The UNITED States of America.

As always, the event is FREE, but please remember to RSVP on our website (link in bio) or by calling us at 314-421-4689.
