SUMMARY:Bennington Vets Town Hall at the Vermont Veterans' Home (2026)
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to all. \n\n\n\n\nPresented by the Vermont Veterans Home. Emceed by ISG (Retired) Frank Wetherby. \n\n\n\nAll are invited to a Vets Town Hall in the A. Luke Crisp Room at the Vermont Veterans Home on Friday\, November 6th\, at 6pm in Bennington\, Vermont. Veterans are invited to speak about what their service means to them. Non-veterans are encouraged to attend and listen. This event is free\, non-political\, and all perspectives are valued. There will be no debate on American foreign policy. \n\n\n\nRSVPs are optional\, but encouraged. Light refreshments will be available. \n\n\n\n\nCheck back later this year to register!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n\n\nFor all attendees: All community members are invited to this event. Only veterans will speak\, but non-veterans are encouraged to attend and listen. Throughout the event\, you may hear something you agree or disagree with. You may have a question. 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\nThe event will take place in the A. Luke Crisp Room. \n\n\n\nThe best parking for this event is in the rear of the building\, using the Park Street entrance. Please use the entrance at the Chapel of the Four Chaplains.  \n\n\n\nThe building is accessible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Partners\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n	Vermont Veterans’ Home	\n				\n				Local Organizer\, Venue Sponsor			\n				\n	\n	\n		The Vermont Veterans’ Home is an experienced residential and healthcare campus for Veterans.
