Veterans, military families, civilians, and philosophers come together for this multi-event look at life on, and beyond, the military’s front lines. Intended to bridge the gap in understanding between the experiences of servicemen and servicewomen on the ground and civilians miles away, Voices From the Front Lines puts dialogue at the center of the conversation about the evolving nature of war in the 21st century.
