I first got wind that this courageous Marine would be coming to Bozeman, Montana earlier this year. A Marine Corps veteran friend of mine, Steve Rast, told me how Stu Scheller would be headlining this year's Marine Corps Ball.

It is now official. Lt. Col Stuart Scheller will be here in Montana this November. You're gonna want to act fast to get your tickets for the Marine Corps Ball in Bozeman. There's also an additional opportunity to hear him speak the night before at Montana State University.

Lt. Col. Scheller is the bold leader who stood up after the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle and uttered these words in a viral video: "I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders: I demand accountability." Lt. Col. Scheller later authored this book- Crisis of Command: How We Lost Trust and Confidence in America's Generals and Politicians.

You can join him at the Marine Corps Ball in Bozeman this November. Here's the details from Marine Corps veteran Steve Rast:

Saturday, November 9th in Bozeman, MT, the Robert A. Ellerd Marine Corps League will be celebrating our 249th Birthday (one day early) with special Guest of Honor LtCol. Stuart Scheller. We know that many hashtag#Veterans of all services are keen to hear his message and share an evening of camaraderie. All are welcome to attend, but please note that this event will sell out quickly. Get your tickets here | https://lnkd.in/gfdxvV3M | before they are gone.

You can also join him the night before at a speaking engagement at MSU. Big thanks to the Veteran Support Center at Montana State University for telling us about this event coming up on Friday, Nov. 8th at MSU:
Lt Col Scheller, a man with multiple combat decorations from the global war on terrorism, and a masters in military science, wants to engage the MSU Community about moral courage. His story will be framed through the decisions made at the National Security Council leading to the collapse and withdrawal from Afghanistan. Lt Col Scheller, a sitting battalion commander at the time, posted a video asking for accountability of his senior leaders the day of the suicide attack at the Abbey Gate killing the lives of 13 service members. The fallout of posting that video led to him being relieved of command, having his mental health questioned and screened, solitary imprisonment, and discharge from the service three years short of his retirement.
Please join us for this night and share in the story behind Lt Col Scheller's decisions and actions. Stick around after for a book signing of the Wall Street Journals best seller, Crisis of Command.
