His experience is drawn from work with elite U.S. defense contractors and military service that included high-threat missions, most notably the Oct. 3, 1993 Somalian mission chronicled in the movie “Black Hawk Down” for which he was awarded a Bronze Star with \u201cV\u201d Device for Valor during combat. Time will be allotted for Q&A.<\/p>\n Kincaid’s and Diemer’s appearances will be open free to the public.
