Join special guest speaker Sergeant Major Carlos J. Askew, who embarked on a distinguished military career after enlisting in the Marine Corps in March 2004. He served in Iraq before becoming a Drill Instructor and served as Senior Enlisted Leader aboard the USS Arlington. Throughout his career, Askew garnered numerous accolades, including the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. He currently serves as the Sergeant Major at Recruiting Station St. Louis, 9th Marine Corps District.
The St. Peters Veterans Memorial is located at One St. Peters Centre Blvd. Seating is very limited, so bring a lawn chair for the event. Be careful with the heat: the tree canopy that was around Veterans Memorial is no longer there to provide shade. Stay cool and bring water to drink. In case of rain or extreme heat, the ceremony will move indoors to the Cultural Arts Centre banquet rooms.
