The 2015 convention culminated with an event on Saturday, Sept. 19 at the Seaport World Trade Center led by Marine Corps Commandant General Joseph F. Dunford Jr., New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft, celebrity chef Robert Irvine and ABC News’ Bob Woodruff.

This year’s convention marked the third time the event was held in Boston, following previous conventions held in 2001 and 2006.
