Whiskey & War Stories – “Objective Rock Creek” – This Weekend in Va Beach

The Silent Warrior Foundation will be holding its 10th Annual Whiskey & War Stories™ Gala Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 5-10 pm in the Seaside Ballroom at the Marriot Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort.

The event consists of a cocktail hour, dinner, auction and presentation of the hostage rescue mission “Objective Rock Creek”, the rescue of American Roy Hallums in Iraq in 2005. The details of Roy’s kidnapping, captivity and liberation were chronicled in his book “Buried Alive”. Roy Hallums and Dan O’Shea will be onstage to tell the story to our guests.

Several guests who have spoken at previous Whiskey & War Stories™ will be present, as well, so it will be a very special night.

There will also be a more casual event the night prior from 5-10 pm in the Executive Hospitality Suite on the 4th Floor of the hotel called “VIP Night”. An extensive taco bar, open bar, and whiskey tasting by Tarnished Truth Distillery are provided during this casual social event. This is a more relaxed opportunity to mix with our past and present speakers and attendees. Cigars on the patio, weather permitting.

This year’s auction items include the Christian Craighead painting, an extremely detailed clone of the M4’s used on the Rock Creek rescue, and a Cylinder & Slide JSOC 1911 clone to name a few. The auction website will populate this weekend.
