Please join us! The opening ceremony of FOSE 2013 will include the presentation of colors and singing of the national anthem, followed by our special keynote General Stanley McChrystal, Ret’d, U.S. Army.
PRESENTATION OF COLORS
Every year the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Color Guard presents the colors and renders honors at many premiere events, both internal and external. FOSE and GovSec 2013 are honored and privileged to have the DIA Color Guard officially open the Conference.
NATIONAL ANTHEM
D. C. Washington (first name is Dwight, but he’s always been called D.C.!) will be singing the national anthem for FOSE's opening ceremony. Mr. Washington, a retired U.S. Army officer, is infamously known for igniting the crowd of fans at FedEx Field when he performed the National Anthem for the Redskins/Cowboys game in December 2012 and again in January 2013 for the Redskins/Seahawks playoff game. He has also performed the national anthem for the Washington Nationals and the D.C. United soccer team.

Few people have as much insight on the current state of military and global affairs as General McChrystal. In this insightful presentation, General McChrystal discusses the new challenges facing America in a globalized world, the proliferation of non-state actors, and the advance of information technology and instantaneous communication. He shares a thorough assessment of U.S. security and what the future will hold.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
