Small Business Lunch at Halls is honored to have Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, Maj. Gen. James E. Livingston, as our distinguished speaker, Thursday, December 6. The military touches the economy of this community in many ways, not only those who are serving and those who have served, but in the programs they accomplish for the community and the incredible impact of equipping our forces.

The military presence and the military industrial complex in the Charleston area have major impacts on the economy of our city and our state. General Livingston will provide an overview and discuss the scope and importance of locally-based Department of Defense contractors and how they affect the total business community in Charleston.
And there is no better person to describe to the opportunities for local businesses with the development of the new Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point. Learn about the Master Development Plan and what it can mean to you and your business.
After graduating from Auburn University he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in June 1962.
