Celebration Banquet

Speaker: Dave Roever

Friday, November 10 at 6:00 PM

Dave Roever grew up in a minister’s family in South Texas. At the height of the Vietnam War, Dave received his draft notice. Rather than serving in the infantry, he joined the U.S. Navy and served as a riverboat gunner in the elite Brown Water Black Beret in Vietnam. Eight months into his tour of duty in Vietnam, Roever was burned beyond recognition when a phosphorous grenade he was poised to throw exploded in his hand. The ordeal left him hospitalized for fourteen months, where he underwent numerous major surgeries. His survival and life are miraculous. Roever is enthusiastically received both nationally and internationally as a public speaker & superb communicator, weaving together a message of courage, commitment, and survival that touches and transforms those who hear him. He is the founder the Eagles Summit Ranches in Colorado & Texas, where physically and emotionally injured servicemen and women are helped to “find their way home.”
