Michelle Del Pizzo, President of UPMC Memorial said, “They come out of, you know, positions and within the military and they have to make that transition. And we really value their leadership skills, their appreciation for our country, their diversity.”

Before the event, the planning committee sold small American flags as a fundraiser for the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation’s Helping Hands fund.
