Members of the 4Troops Quartet

 
The American Red Cross will honor men and women of the military and their families at its “Salute to Service” Gala on Saturday, May 12 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. The celebration is the largest fundraising event of the year for the American Red Cross in the National Capital Region. Funds raised are transformed into services delivered every day in our community.

Kay Kapoor, Managing Director and Chief Executive, U.S. Federal Practice, Accenture, is chairing the event. Accenture is the Presenting Sponsor of the Gala. 

Entertainment will be provided by 4Troops. 4Troops members are United States combat veterans Sergeant Daniel Jens, who was a 2008 finalist on "America's Got Talent;" retired Staff Sergeant Ron Henry; Sergeant David Clemo; and Captain Meredith Melcher, the daughter of a retired three-star General. Performing music played an important role in their lives while serving in the military. The four were brought together by veteran Victor Hurtado, Production Director for the Army Soldier Show.
