Welcoming our Special Guest Speakers

Chuck Hagel

Former Secretary of Defense

Chuck Hagel was the 24th Secretary of Defense, serving from February 2013 to February 2015. He is the only Vietnam veteran and the first enlisted combat veteran to serve as Secretary of Defense. Hagel served two terms in the United States Senate (1997-2009) representing the state of Nebraska. Hagel also served as Deputy Administrator of the Veterans Administration under President Ronald Reagan. Read full biography here.

Morgan Gray

Marine Veteran & CVLC Client

Morgan Gray served in the United States Marine Corps (2007-2010). Since 2012, she had been locked out of the VA due to an unjust Other-than-Honorable discharge. With CVLC’s assistance, the VA reviewed Ms. Gray’s discharge status and determined it to be honorable for VA purposes, granting her full access to VA services including healthcare while she continues to pursue a discharge upgrade to change her discharge paperwork.

Thank you to our 2020 sponsors!
