SUMMARY:Blue Water announcement July 9th in Danbury / Rep. Esty
DESCRIPTION:As you might know\, we are celebrating a huge victory in the US House of Representatives with the passage of the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2017. The bill passed the House by a vote of 382-0 and now heads to the Senate for consideration. Congresswoman Esty\, who serves on the Committee of Veterans Affairs and is the Ranking Member on the Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs subcommittee\, is also a cosponsor of the legislation. \nWe are having an event in Danbury to update the community and the press on this issue. We would love it if you could join us on Monday\, July 9 at 1:30 as she discusses the bill and has Q & A. We will be available for an hour- maybe many people are busy with summer plans and trips but this legislation is so important that we just can’t let it go uncelebrated\, and there is still work to be done- passage in the Senate. \nPlease join us at the Danbury War Memorial’s second floor conference room at 1 Memorial Drive\, across the street from the CVS. If you cannot make it but know a vet that is very interested in this legislation\, please send the invitation along.

SUMMARY:YAA 2019
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the  Ethan  Allen Hotel  in Danbury  to  honor this year’s Young Americans –  30 patriotic High School graduates from Fairfield County Schools who show outstanding leadership potential. \nOur Guest Speaker: \n\n\n\n\nTom Deierlein\nFounder\, TD Foundation\nChief Executive Officer\, Thundercat Technologies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Deierlein\, the CEO\, is a former U.S. Army Major and Operation Iraqi Freedom Vet. A Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient\, he is now medically retired with a 100% permanent disability rating. He has been involved in the sales\, marketing and operations of mission critical applications and emerging technologies since 1993. \n\n\nTom’s call sign while serving in Baghdad was “ThunderCat 6” – hence our name: ThunderCat Technology. \n\nGraduating from United States Military Academy\, West Point in 1989\, Tom spent nearly five years in the military; first\, earning his Airborne Ranger qualification and then\, onto various leadership positions with the Berlin Brigade. Tom gained extensive leadership and operations experience while leading three different organizations and coordinating activities for over 800 personnel from 4 countries. In late 2005\, Tom was recalled to active duty serving as a Civil Affairs Officer in East Baghdad. There\, he helped manage over $290 million in reconstruction and economic development projects. In September of 2006\, he was shot by a sniper and critically wounded. The bullet shattered his pelvis and the base of his spine. After 8 months of intensive care at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the VA Polytrauma Rehab Center in Tampa Florida\, Tom returned to the business world in June 2007. \n\nTom first got involved in the technology field in the mid 90′s with Parametric Technology Corporation\, working with clients such as IBM and United Technologies. He ended up as worldwide Account Lead for electrical connector giant\, AMP. In 1996\, he joined internet start up\, NetGravity. During this time\, he played a key role in the development and sale of the first fully networked version of NetGravity’s original AdServer system. He also played a critical role creating the original storage and hosting relationship between CompuServe and EMC. In 2000\, Tom joined up with Dynamic Logic\, a technology-based research firm that tracks and reports on interactive advertising performance for clients like Oracle\, Cisco\, Intel\, DELL\, Microsoft\, and Symantec. As their Chief Operating Officer\, he was instrumental in the growth and development of that company from 7-person start up into clear industry leader. \nTom has also earned a Master of Science in Systems Management from University of Southern California in 1993 and an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business in 2000. Tom has been quoted and featured in The New York Times\, NBC Nightly News\, Forbes\, Wall Street Journal\, MSNBC.com\, and PARADE Magazine. \nIn Fall of 2006\, a foundation was started by Tom and others to assist Iraqi Children. TD Foundation provides aid to children directly affected by war in Iraq and Afghanistan\, as well as to children of wounded warriors and fallen heroes here in the US. All participants are volunteers and 100% of funds go to those children and families in need. \nAdditionally\, Tom is a mentor with Care Coalition.  He coaches and supports other severely wounded and disabled Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) soldiers and their families to assist in the transition to the civilian world and workforce.
