7 Members of the Veterans Action Council that span across generations and in this video have a raw discussion and discuss what it means to veterans when people thank us for our service, from our perspective. This led us to the discussion of how we think civilians should properly acknowledge our service and offer their acknowledgment of our service. We furthered traveled down that discussion to encompass what we think the younger generations should be taught about military service and what that means to us. We implore parents of those that are interested in having this discussion of service in the Armed Forces to watch and learn from veterans’ perspectives.
