Heroes that stood up instead of standing down in Benghazi." Team Leader Beth Heath said. "The victims of Benghazi  faced terrorist and were murdered while serving America in Libya.  Unsuspecting Americans across our country are facing terrorist and being murdered while going about their daily business.  The speakers at the Tribute are specialist on terrorism, security and the pain of needlessly losing loved ones to terrorism."
