Presented by YMCA of South Florida, the Weston YMCA Family Center and Spirit, in partnership with the City of Weston
Join us for a celebration to honor veterans in our community.
This year’s keynote speaker is Dan Cnossen, a US Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander and six time Paralympic Medalist.
In 2009, Dan was deployed to Afghanistan into an area of heavy combat. There, on a night mission in the mountains he stepped on an IED, losing both legs in the blast. He would later be awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star with Valor. For the next two years Dan fought for his life, enduring over 40 different surgeries, while readjusting to civilian life. It was during this time, as part of his rehab, that he was introduced to the sports of cross-country skiing and biathlon. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he eventually earned a spot on the 2014 Paralympic Team.
