Harnish Main Large Meeting Room

Join Bosnian War veteran Tom Kens for an inspiring look into a day in the life of a sailor aboard the USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier.

Through powerful storytelling, Tom shares how his military experience shaped a deep attitude of gratitude—and how embracing gratitude in our own lives can lead to greater happiness and a renewed appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy.

Don't miss our author event with Daniel Kraus, interviewed by Heidi Stevens, about his latest release Angel Down which focuses on a group of World War I soldiers. This event is on Thursday, November 6th at 7:00 p.m. at McHenry County College. Please register if interested!
