Flags of Our Fathers Author James Bradley Urges Audiences to Do the Impossible
June 29, 2007
As the United States celebrates the 4th of July with traditional fireworks, parades, and cookouts, it is sometimes easy to forget the sacrifices that many have made in the spirit of America’s independence. The best-selling author of Flags of Our Fathers, James Bradley, captures that spirit in his inspiring keynote address, “Doing the Impossible.”
Flags of Our Fathers celebrates the lives of the men, including his father, who raised the American flag on the island of Iwo Jima in 1945, in the most iconic and reproduced photograph of all time. The battle for Iwo Jima and the men’s subsequent journeys illustrate that nothing is impossible. This valuable lesson can be applied in every aspect of our business and personal lives. From making important but untested decisions to embracing change, the seemingly impossible can always be achieved with dedication and perseverance.
James Bradley takes the valuable lessons of World War II and proves that no matter what the challenge, it is always possible to reach one’s goal. His inspirational and moving speeches have changed thousands of lives and created better and more successful businesses and leaders.
