The 1% | Richard Reynolds | TEDxDayton

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The 1%. The recent “Occupy Movement” focused on the wealthiest 1% of Americans; but, Lieutenant General (ret) Dick Reynolds zeroes in on a different 1% of the American population—a segment that is ever-decreasing, reaching the lowest level since the first half of the last century. Starting at the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium, General Reynolds will explore the issues of monuments, remembrance, national identity, and connectedness with this particular 1% of the population.

Richard is a veteran of 34 years active-duty service in the U.S. Air Force. While in uniform he was an experimental test pilot, program manager, program executive officer and senior military commander. Retiring in 2005 as a Lieutenant General, he formed The VanFleet Group, LLC, an aerospace consulting company, and serves on the boards of directors of publicly traded and privately held corporations. In a volunteer capacity, among other things, he has been the Board Chairman of the Air Force Museum Foundation, a member of the USAF Heritage Program Board of Directors, and a member of the Ohio Veterans Memorial and Museum Advisory Committee.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
