Beyond the Finish Line:
A Fireside Chat with Medal of Honor Recipient Jack Jacobs
Join us at the National Medal of Honor Museum for a powerful conversation, meet and greet, and book signing with Medal of Honor Recipient Jack Jacobs, whose extraordinary actions during the Vietnam War saved the lives of fellow soldiers and earned him our nation’s highest military honor.
In this intimate fireside chat, Jacobs will share reflections on combat, leadership under pressure, and the choices that define courage. The conversation will also explore his connection to World War I Medal of Honor Recipient Eddie Rickenbacker, whose journey from racecar driver to aviation pioneer helped shape the future of American flight.
Following the program, guests will have the opportunity to meet Jack Jacobs and attend a book signing.
Come hear a remarkable story of service—and the enduring lessons of courage that continue to inspire new generations.
This event is free, however seating is limited.
