Or you may want to say encouraging words with the intention to help. However\, we ask that you please refrain from responding. We are simply here to listen and learn about what it was like to serve in the wars that this nation has chosen to fight. \n\n\n\nFor speakers: Tell us what your service means to you. Please tell us about your own experiences\, whatever they may be\, rather than speaking broadly about an issue or organization. You’re a member of our community\, and it’s your stories\, reflections\, and insights that we’re anxious to hear. If you’re interested in speaking but aren’t sure what to speak about\, click here for some questions that can serve as starting points. Each veteran will be given up to 10 minutes to speak. Veterans who would like to speak can mark that preference when registering. If you’re considering speaking but prefer not to register\, we encourage you to attend. After pre-registered speakers go\, the host will take speakers from the floor\, time permitting. The goal is for every veteran who would like to speak to have a chance to do so. Of course\, veterans (and all community members) are also welcome to simply attend and listen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting There\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility: The Library and auditorium are ADA accessible. Attendees are asked to call (802) 846-4140 in advance if special services are required.
