  • Supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success;
  • Destigmatizing issues faced by veterans;
  • Combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and successes of service members, veterans, and their families; and
  • Connecting veterans with valuable resources.
