The Fort Wayne Base Community Council (FWBCC), in partnership with Manpower, will be hosting a luncheon featuring a highly sought after speaker Kris “Tanto” Paronto, survivor and hero of the 9/11/2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya. He will share his first-hand account of the brutal attack on Benghazi and lessons from his experiences in combat and business. According to Tammy Kelly, President of the Board of the FWBCC, “This is a rare opportunity to hear Mr. Paronto’s compelling story of survival and courage. This event is just one example of the Fort Wayne Base
