North Platte Post News Director, Scott Carlson, sat down with Kris “Tanto” Paronto to discuss his upcoming presentation at NebraskaLand National Bank.
Mr. Paronto was part of the CIA Annex security team that responded to the terrorist attack on the US Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, September 11th, 2012, helping to save over 20 lives while fighting off terrorists from the CIA Annex for over 13 hours. Mr. Paronto’s story is told in the book “13 Hours” written by Mitchell Zuckoff and his five surviving annex security team members.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase. The book, “13 Hours” is the riveting story that takes readers into the action-packed story of heroes who laid their lives on the line for one another, for their countrymen, and for their country.
The event will take place on March 12, 2015 at NebraskaLand National Bank Main Branch, 1400 South Dewey. The public is invited to join us for a Meet and Greet with Kris Paronto and a book signing from 3:00-5:00pm. A special flag dedication will be performed at 5:30pm by members of our local VFW in memory of Cal Stratton. Following the flag dedication, Mr. Paronto will begin the presentation, entitled “13 Hours: the harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi”. The lecture will take place in the 3rd Floor Banquet Room.
