This event is a key fund raiser for Move United’s Warfighter program, where members from the defense industry, the nation’s most prominent business leaders, and others gather for dinner and fellowship to support wounded warriors and the Move United mission. Participants include wounded Soldiers, Seaman, Marines and Airman and their family members who have been served by the Move United Warfighter program, as well as members of the New York City Fire and Police Departments who provide essential support to the event.

 

In 2023, LT Gen Walter Piatt (pictured above), Director of the Army Staff and former Commanding General of the 10th Mountain Division in Iraq, was our distinguished military speaker.

 

In 2024, Move United is honored to have the Commander of the Army Forces Command, General Andrew P. Poppas, as our distinguished speaker.

 

Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall, SOCOM Commander GEN Richard D. Clarke, Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy, Secretary of the Army McHugh, Secretary of the Army Geren, Secretary of the Air Force Deborah James, Army Chief of Staff GEN Ray Odierno, Marine Commandant GEN Amos, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff GEN Dempsey have been the event’s distinguished guests.
