Dr. Tim Eckstein
Rotarian, and local historian, Dave Rogers introduced Dr. Tim Eckstein , who spoke about the Medal of Honor Character Development Program. Eckstein, Medical Director of Covenant Occupational Health and a retired Navy Captain with three tours in Vietnam.

Wearing a Saginaw Spirit Hockey shirt, Eckstein explained the connection. When he was recruited to bring the Medal of Honor Character Development Program to Michigan, he didn't have a clear picture of how to do that. Not long after he made a connection with the Saginaw Spirit management and formed a joint venture to promote the program.

The program is designed to provide training to teachers and leaders so they can pass on the concepts of courage, commitment, sacrifice, patriotism, integrity and citizenship and how these can be applied to daily life.

The program includes a set of lesson plans and other resources. They do not glorify or glamorize war but provide living histories based on experiences of Medal of Honor recipients.

Developed by leading educators and some of the largest corporations, the training is presented free of charge to anyone who is qualified through teaching or leadership positions. Presentations are made by professional trainers following a well developed plan.

The next Michigan event will be held Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at the SISD Transition Center, 3860 Fashion Sq. Blvd. in Saginaw. The program runs from 8:00am until 3:00 pm. The entire day is provided free of charge.
