WAAR hosts radio roundtable on veteran healing

Wreaths Across America Radio (WAAR) is holding a series of four roundtable discussions focused on veteran healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose, and success. This first live discussion will take place on Thursday, March 25, at 7 p.m. and can be heard exclusively on WAAR.

The goal of the roundtable series is to help reduce barriers for veterans by supporting generational bonds between service veterans through stories of service and success; destigmatizing issues faced by veterans and asking for help; combating inaccurate perceptions of veterans by discussing the diverse experiences, challenges, and success of service members, veterans, and their families; and connecting veterans with valuable resources.

This first roundtable, titled “Service, Resilience, Success,” will include guest panelists: Major General Peter Aylward, U.S. Army, retired, director of The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration; and Edward McEvoy, National Outreach Program Specialist with the Department of Veterans Affairs Readjustment Counseling Service. They will be interviewed by United States Army Captain (retired) Joe Reagan and Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director Karen Worcester. 

“I think this is going to be a meaningful discussion,” said Susan Patten, Program Manager for Wreaths Across America Radio. “As everyone involved has a synergy of mission and a deep understanding of veterans’ needs and the needs of their families. We look forward to this opportunity to offer stories and the importance in addressing veterans’ healing.”

You can listen to Wreaths Across America Radio’s 24/7 stream anywhere at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio,  via the iHeart Radio app, or download it at the App Store or on Google.

The first broadcast in this series is set for Thursday, March 25, with subsequent broadcasts on Thursdays, June 24, September 23, and December 23, 2021. All panel discussions will be held live on WAAR.
