Veterans Book Discussion Groups beginning in February & March

See all news

Has the road to "homecoming" and adjustment back to civilian life been harder and longer than you and your family expected? Veterans, current service members, family members, and friends are invited to attend a 10-week reading and discussion group. Called Dialogues on the Experience of War & Homecoming, the group uses Homer’s The Odyssey to explore trauma, duty and honor, personal sacrifice, life at home, and readjustment. The ancient tale of Odysseus’ epic 10-year journey home from the Trojan War has much to tell us about the challenges of homecoming for today’s veterans, their families, and friends. Limited seating.
