Our keynote speaker at Salute to Our Heroes will be Kris Paronto. “Tanto” as he is affectionately known in security contracting circles is a former Army Ranger from 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. He is a private security contractor who has deployed throughout South and Central America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Mr. Paronto was part of the CIA annex security team that responded to the terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, September 11th, 2012. His team’s involvement was essential in the saving of U.S. lives and assets while fighting off terrorists from the CIA Annex for over 13 hours.
