I would like to invite you to my Veteran Town Hall this Veterans Day. This event, inspired by author Sebastian Junger, is a community forum aiming to establish a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors they fought for. In the tradition of warrior storytelling, veterans are invited to describe the pride, grief, rage, or quiet appreciation of life that the war bestowed upon them. Each veteran will be given up to 10 minutes to speak about what his or her service means to them through a story, summary of service, message, letter home, excerpt from a war journal, or even the story behind a photograph. Non-veterans are invited to attend, to listen, and to learn.

Visit our website for more information.

I hope to see you at this special event. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by clicking the "Register" button.

For more information on the original idea for the event, please read Mr. Junger's June 2015 article in Vanity Fair.
