Wreaths Across America Radio will hold the third in its series of roundtable discussions focused on veteran healing through sharing stories of resilience, purpose, and success. This live discussion will take place on Thursday, September 23, at 7 p.m. and can be heard exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio.

The discussion will focus on women in service, highlighting the contributions to national security by military women throughout our history. The discussion will also touch on barriers that exist(ed), along with issues that are unique to women veterans. Guest panelists will be interviewed by Wreaths Across America’s Executive Director Karen Worcester and Director of Military & Veteran Outreach, retired United States Army Captain Joe Regan. 

Panelists are: Anne F. Macdonald, Brigadier General, United States Army (Ret.) and President of Army Women’s Foundation;  Phyllis Wilson, United States Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 (Ret.) and President of the Women in Military Service For America Memorial Foundation; Brenda Pennels, Uniformed Services Family Health Plan Strategic Relations Manager for Martin’s Point Healthcare.

The goal of the Wreaths Across America Radio roundtable series on veteran healing 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.
