How many times have you either said or thought about saying, "Thank you for your service" to an American military veteran? Despite our best intentions, we might be missing the mark. According to Dr. Robert Kodosky, a professor at West Chester University with an expertise in military history, it's time for us to not only rethink how we talk to and communicate with our veterans, but also how we portray them in films, TV shows, books, and other forms of media. If you catch this interview in time, you can also hear Dr. Kodosky speak about this topic on Veterans Day - Friday, November 11th - at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia at 12:45 PM.
