Hart Energy Recognizes Veterans' Influence

HOUSTON, Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hart Energy's inaugural "25 Impactful Veterans in Energy" program honored veterans in the oil and gas industry and two special guests in a recognition luncheon on Thursday, December 5, 2019 at Houston's Marriott Marquis hotel. 

"The Veterans In Energy Luncheon gathered industry pacesetters who have paved new paths for our nation, industry and the next generation," said Kevin Holmes, Publisher of Oil and Gas Investor. "We are honored to spotlight these veterans and industry influencers."

The 2019 'class' of energy-industry veterans included women and men who served in the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy as well as National Guard contingents.  Their oilfield careers and experiences ranged from staff roles and field managers to executives and C-suite leaders.

Attendees enjoyed lively presentations from Pete Hegseth, outspoken veteran's advocate and a Fox News co-host, and from Staff Sgt. David Bellavia (U.S. Army, ret'd), the Iraq war's only living recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

An enthusiastic crowd showered appreciation on these honorees after watching a tribute video, which briefly summarized each one's career and continued involvement in other military veterans' lives. The honorees included:
