Intergenerational Veteran Dialogue

Intergenerational Veteran Dialogue an intentional time to reflect and share on what it means to organize, agitate, transform, sustain, heal, and build power over the long haul. It is rare to take time to reflect on our personal and collective struggles in building a veterans movement. It is even rarer for different generations to share and learn from one anthers reflections. On September 8th members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace, and Iraq Veterans Against the War will do just that.

Iraq Veterans Against the War, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and Veterans For Peace members are welcome to attend. Let us know if you're planning on attending or if you have any questions:
