Tickets will be available beginning next week for a special “Veterans Salute” featuring renowned Vietnam fighter pilot and P.O.W. Captain Charlie Plumb who is coming to Princeton in October.
Award-winning keynote speaker, author, and longtime resident of Caldwell County Phillip Van Hooser says about 25 years ago he had the opportunity to hear Plumb speak at a meeting in Washington D.C. and was very moved to hear his message about his experiences.

Van Hooser, who owns Van Hooser Associates that provides professional development speaking, training, and more for organizations that want to enhance their leadership within their ranks, said it became his dream several years ago to bring Plumb to introduce him to his friends in Caldwell and surrounding counties, particularly to salute our veterans of all eras.
