SALEM, MA — Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) will host his 2nd annual Veterans Day Town Hall on Friday, November 11 at 11am at Abbot Hall in Marblehead (188 Washington Street). The event is open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP HERE.
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 his or her 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.
Moulton hosted the nation’s first Veterans Day Town Hall last year, and more than 150 veterans and non-veterans alike traveled from across Massachusetts to share their stories, and to listen. Moulton has said that hosting this event was the single most meaningful he has done as a Member of Congress.
Moulton’s Veterans Day Town Hall was inspired by author Sebastian Junger who has written about the importance of veterans of all wars sharing their experiences with their communities. Over the past year, Moulton has worked to make Vets Town Hall a national initiative for communities across the country. To learn more about Moulton’s work, visit http://www.vetstownhall.org.
