On Wednesday, June 5, 2026, the Union League Club in Chicago hosted Martha Raddatz, chief global affairs correspondent for ABC News, at an informative luncheon where she discussed her book “The Hero Next Door, Stories of Patriotism and Purpose”. Ms. Raddatz has reported from the front lines of America’s global conflicts for over 2 decades. She has witnessed firsthand the strength of character, creativity, and determination that has carried those on the frontlines to do extraordinary things. In this book she shares with us the grit and resilience of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who have served since 9/11. Her humanizing of the situations and events could only have been done by someone who is compassionate and respectful of our military and all those who serve.
We would like to thank Jazz Sullivan and MassMutual for their kind sponsorship of this fantastic and informative event.
