Oct 7, 2001 to Aug 30, 2021 the US was engaged in it’s longest conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq. Both wars changed our country forever. For our military members the changes were both external with over 7,000 deaths and many more wounded. But more shocking is the invisible wounds of over 30,000 suicides of Post 9/11 veterans. In this panel we will hear from those who served in these conflicts. What did they experience in the military, why did they join the military, what has there military to civilian transition been like and what are their hopes for the future?
