3rd Annual "Conversations with Veterans", 9am, Saturday, 11/07

Please Join Us - “Conversations with Veterans”

Too often, our interactions with those in uniform and with Veterans are limited to a perfunctory “Thank you for your service!”, when we really don’t know what that service means, or how to converse with a Veteran. On Saturday, November 7, the City of Novato and the Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise will host the third annual “Conversations with Veterans” forum, from 9:00-10:30 am, via Zoom.

In honor of Veterans Day, the audience will hear from and converse with Veterans about their own military experiences and the related responsibility of civilians to support the service of our Veterans.

This year, the use of Zoom allows us to invite Veterans from outside Novato to bring additional perspective and diversity into the discussion. “Conversations” brings together Novato resident and Marine Veteran Gene McCandless, who will discuss his Vietnam experiences with fellow Marine John Musgrave, poet and writer, who was interviewed extensively in the Burns/Novick PBS Series on Vietnam. Army COL (Ret) Steve Miska will discuss his three combat tours to Iraq and the importance of retaining the experiences of Veterans through oral histories and literature.

Novato Mayor Denise Athas and former Rotary Club of Novato Sunrise President Sylvia Barry will co-host, and Gil Sanborn, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, will serve as Moderator.
