Thank you for joining us for our 14th Annual Riverview Bank Symbol of Freedom event Sponsored by Waste Connections of WA., Inc.
This event is held annually near Veterans Day and was created as a way to honor our local veterans, many of whom, are our clients. We also use this event to educate our guests as to WHAT we do, HOW we do it and WHY we do what we do to serve our clients in the best manner possible.
Each year, an inspirational citizen joins us to share a story of resilience, perseverance and motivation. We are always amazed and appreciative of the stories and experiences our Keynote Speaker brings with them.
This year's keynote speaker is US Navy Commander (ret.) Rebecca (Becky) Calder. A 1998 Naval Academy graduate and native of Longview, WA, Cmdr. Becky Calder served as an F/A-18 pilot and was the first woman pilot to graduate from the Navy’s Strike Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN). During her 15 years as a F/A-18 pilot she supported Operation Southern Watch, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. At the Naval Academy, she played varsity basketball and was the first woman to have her varsity number retired.
