What you can expect from today's webcast with Jeff Atwater:

Jeff Atwater's story is a Florida story.

Jeff Atwater is a fifth-generation Floridian shaped by a family long committed to serving their neighbors, their state and their country. "My values were shaped by my parents," says Atwater, "They were of that Greatest Generation where service, education and hard work meant everything. Their example inspires me every day."

His late father, John Stafford Atwater, was a World War II fighter pilot and accomplished FBI agent who later became police chief of the Village of North Palm Beach. His mother was a community volunteer and teacher.

"Like a lot of World War II vets, my dad wanted to visit Europe one last time. When we stood on the beach at Normandy, I felt one of the deep epiphanies of my life. Seeing a place so deeply marked by the sacrifice of American soldiers on D-Day made me realize I had an obligation to give more back to the state and nation that had given me so much. I knew it wouldn't be in the same context as my Dad's generation, but I knew I had to do more to contribute," says Atwater. "Understanding his service, and witnessing my mother's lifetime of volunteer efforts, was an inspiration."
