After training, several Lincoln alumni served at home and abroad as U.S. Army Air Corps Tuskegee airmen. Join Michelle Brooks as she tells the story of the program and the airmen.

Show Me Honor Awards Dinner – Saluting One Missourian a Year for Outstanding Service to Veterans
K9s on The Front Line invites you to join us for our second annual charity dinner at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City to support Missouri Veterans.

Craig Grossi and his four-legged best friend Fred, author(s) of Craig & Fred – A Marine, A Stray Dog, & How They Saved Each Other – the true story of a US Marine and the stray dog he met on the Afghan battlefield. Craig & Fred are both passionate about supporting K9s on The Front Line and their story is an incredible one.
Of course, we will honor one amazing Missourian for his dedication and service to Veterans and you won’t want to miss the chance to salute him with us!
