During the event, Admiral McRaven read from his newest New York Times bestselling children’s book, "Be a Hero with Skipper the Seal," co-authored with his daughter, Kelly Marie McRaven. The story follows Skipper, an adventurous young seal who learns valuable lessons in courage, leadership, and perseverance—qualities that inspire military children and families alike. 

The event was dedicated to honoring the contributions of children in military families, while providing them with support.
