January Luncheon – 1/17/2014

Out next luncheon is this Friday, January 17th.  The Guest Speaker will be best selling author, Steve Eubanks, who most recently published  All American, the inspiring story of two football rivals who faced each other in the momentous 2001 Army-Navy Game who would both go on to serve in the United States military in the Iraq War.
In December, 2001, as fires still burned beneath the World Trade Center ruins, West Point cadet Chad Jenkins and Naval Academy midshipman Brian Stann faced off at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia in what would become the most-watched college football game of the decade: the matchup between the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen.
With his team down by thirteen points, Stann, a Navy linebacker, came into contact with Jenkins, the Army quarterback, for the first time, landing a perfect tackle. Though these two players would not meet again for another decade, Stann and Jenkins shared the same path: both went to war, led soldiers, and witnessed and participated in events they never imagined possible.
A moving and fascinating dual profile of honor, duty, courage, and competition, illustrated with photos, All American is a thoughtful exploration of American character and values, embodied in the lives of two remarkable young men.
Steve Eubanks is a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning writer. His work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Golf Digest, Golf World, Golf Magazine, Golf for Women, T&L Golf, Links, Sports Unlimited, Garden & Gun, Racing Fan, and USA Today, and on FoxSports.com, Yahoo!, and PGATour.com. A former college golfer and PGA club pro, Steve is the author of more than thirty books. He lives in Peachtree City, Georgia, with his wife and children.
