From Oct. 7, 2001 to Aug. 30, 2021 the U.S. was engaged in its longest conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq. Both wars changed our country forever. For our military members the changes were external with over 7,000 deaths. 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 their military to civilian transition been like, and what are their hopes for the future?
