Amidst a small share of active duty servicemembers and a shrinking veterans population, many younger Americans feel pretty far removed from the military. But that wasn’t always the case. In this session, we’ll explore how the role of the U.S. military has evolved over time, examine its relationship within a changing society, and reflect on our personal experiences with service, sacrifice, and in some cases, protest.

Join Emmy-award winning journalist, Claudine Hutton, for the next edition of this thought-provoking discussion on current events. We’ll explore today’s pressing issues through the lens of history–and our own personal experiences. 

In this session, we’ll:

• Analyze the Headlines: Break down recent developments in politics, economics, and world affairs.

• Find Historical Parallels: Examine how similar events in history inform our understanding of today’s challenges.

• Share Perspectives: Exchange insights and memories in a collaborative and respectful environment.
