Military Leadership

Rob Lofthouse, veteran/author/speaker, will present lessons learned from one of America’s greatest military leaders – that you never heard of.

The subject of discussion is LTC Gordon J. Lippman, a 22-year U.S. Army combat veteran who began his career as an 18-year old paratrooper and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. The 1st Infantry Division was the first combat division sent to Vietnam and Lieutenant Colonel Lippman served as the XO of the 3rd Brigade at a small village outside of Saigon, called Lai Khe, and cynically referred to as ‘Rocket City.’
