Marblehead’s representative, Sixth District Congressman Seth Moulton, invited residents of the district to a Veterans Day Town Hall in Marblehead on November 11th. Sebastian Junger, a noted writer and director, was in attendance. As Moulton explained,

“This event is a community forum aiming to establish a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors they fought for. In the tradition of warrior storytelling, veterans are invited to describe the pride, grief, rage, or quiet appreciation of life that the war bestowed upon them. Each veteran will be given up to 10 minutes to speak about what his or her service means to them through a story, summary of service, message, letter home, excerpt from a war journal, or even the story behind a photograph. Non-veterans are invited to listen and to learn.”

Mouton added,

“This event will help our community bridge the divide between veterans and non-veterans and inform how I can better serve you in Congress.”
