Goff is a former Army Special Operations soldier, whose military career includes serving in Vietnam, Grenada, and Haiti. He also was part of the military training mission in Colombia and Peru, and classified missions in El Salvador and Guatemala.

He is also a member of Military Families Speak Out, an organization of people who are opposed to the war in Iraq and who have relatives or loved ones in the military.
In addition to teaching military science at West Point, he is also an author of several works including: "Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century" and "Hideous Dream: A Soldier's Memoir of the U.S. Invasion of Haiti."
The event is free and open to the public. Contact Grove at (724) 946-7254 or e-mail groveak@westminster.edu for more information.
