WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Seth Moulton is extending an invitation to all residents of the Sixth District to a special Veterans Day Town Hall this Veterans Day in Marblehead.
This event, inspired by author Sebastian Junger, is a community forum aiming to establish a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors they fought for. In the tradition of warrior storytelling, veterans are invited to describe the pride, grief, rage, or quiet appreciation of life that the war bestowed upon them. Each veteran will be given up to 10 minutes to speak about what their service means to them through a story, summary of service, message, letter home, excerpt from a war journal, or even the story behind a photograph. Non-veterans are invited to attend, to listen, and to learn.
The Town Hall will be held from 11am-2pm on November, 11 at Abbot Hall in Marblehead (188 Washington Street Marblehead, MA 01945). If you would like to attend, please RSVP by on our Eventbrite page. If you are a veteran and would like to speak, you can mark that preference when you register.
For more information on the original idea for the event, please read Mr. Junger’s June 2015 article in Vanity Fair.
Please contact our office with any questions you may have.
