PRINTER FRIENDLYThis Week in Duluth
June 18th: History in a Pint
Time: 6:00 pm. Veterans’ Memorial Hall, a program of the St. Louis County Historical Society, announces its next event in the local history discussion series, “History in a Pint.” The presentation, entitled “From Combat in Iraq to Service in Duluth,” is free and open to the public. In 2005, Steve Saari, Lt. Col (Retired) USAF, was a pilot and the Mission Commander of a crackerjack team of twelve F-16 pilots who trained together, flew their F-16s from Minnesota to Iraq, and served together in combat. This was the first flight of twelve F-16s to ever deploy to a combat zone from the Minnesota Air National Guard. Steve will talk about the day-to-day realities of serving as a combat pilot in Iraq. He will also discuss how that military service led to his current service as Regional Director at MACV (Military Assistance Council for Veterans) in Duluth. Held at Carmody Irish Pub & Brewing 308 East Superior Street. Call (218) 733-7586
