More Than, “Thank you for your service”
About This Conversation
What does it really mean to honor a veteran?
In this Veterans Day conversation, Denise and Tim reflect on why "thank you for your service" is only the beginning. They explore the importance of listening to veterans' stories, the challenges of returning home, the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, and how meaningful conversations can replace simple gestures.
Along the way, they discuss the film Sheepdog, military identity, and the importance of seeing the human being behind the uniform.
