Coffee Talk: Politicization of Veterans and The Military
July 25th, 2023 6:00pm EST
On July 25th, 2023 we hosted a Coffee Talk discussing the Politicization of Veterans and The Military. We had two very special guests: The Honorable Patrick J. Murphy and the Honorable Erin C. Conaton. Both speakers had ample personal experience to discuss this topic. We learned how service members could excercize their First Amendment Rights properly, engage in politics without being exploited, and how to help people understand that serving in the military is not partisan, but patriotic.
