The other part of this is NEVER run such an event on your own. Get a few folks together, form a legal entity to run it, make sure that it has liability insurance, proper legal filings protecting the individuals, etc., and have IT run the show. That way the legal entity is on the hook and not you.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
