Veteran Speaker
Men and women from the Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts will open their hearts with passion, and sometimes humor, as they address the many trials of combat. The event is sponsored by the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas.
Veterans from all conflicts relate their combat experiences as part of the PTSD healing process. The audience is a major factor in the therapeutic process
Experiences of War
Veterans’ experiences of war and its consequences are offered at a great emotional cost by men and women who trust an audience enough to stand before them and tell their stories. They draw us together as they invite us to bear witness to their accounts of healing and recovery. We return their extraordinary gift of faith with one of our own: open hearts and the gift of listening.
Experience the “remarkable voices of unimaginably brave soldiers who gave their all during conflict. These are stories and poems, large and small, funny and heartbreaking — not just invaluable to succeeding generations of soldiers, but to every citizen of our country, and beyond.”
