In the Chicago area and looking for something unusual and free to do this Friday night?
If so, head on over to the gorgeously-restored Chicago Cultural Center at 7 p.m. and join us for a unique and, if I may say so, important event that I'm honored to be able to facilitate.
In the great tradition of past cultures, where warriors returned from battle embraced by their community as they shared their experiences and divided the pain of loss together, I'm asking caring community members to come out and support this small group of NIU veterans who have agreed to share their stories with us for one evening.
They are not professional speakers. They are not veterans who have returned and made their views and opinions known broadly by blogging or writing books or being interviewed on TV. But they are no less in need of our support as they come forward.
