Vets Town Hall

From Peter Moran, the VHP’s former graduate student worker, currently at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History:

On November 5, we will be hosting a Vets Town Hall. Veterans of any era who served in any capacity are invited to stand before their community and speak for up to ten minutes about what it was like to serve their country. Non-veterans are encouraged to attend and listen. This event is non-political, and all perspectives are valued. There will be no question-and-answer period or debate on American foreign policy. Attendees will simply listen and learn about what it was like to serve in the wars that this nation has chosen to fight. We are presenting this in conjunction with Vets Town Hall, an organization originated by author Sebastian Junger (War, Tribe) with the aim of increasing communication and understanding between veterans and civilians in their communities.

If you are a veteran who is willing to speak about your experiences, please contact Natalie Belanger: nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org
