The accalimed author of "Flags of Our Fathers" is the headline panelist for tomorrow's "Veterans and the Military" discussion at Syracuse University.
James Bradley
James Bradley, whose book has been turned into a motion picture by Clint Eastwood, will give the keynote address tomorrow at the Whitman School of Management.
The host of the event, Eileen Jevis can't wait to hear what Bradley has to say, "I'm just so excited to hear his perspective, to hear the personal side of the story on why he wrote these books."
Panel Discussion
Jevis explained that James Bradley will segway from his discussion to the panel discussion, which will include speakers from every era of war, from the Korean war, the cold war, and the Vietnam war, to a current ROTC cadet.
Veterans
Jevis expressed how pleased she is with the group of speakers, but maintains that the focus of the discussion is about the veterans, "What I hope this discussion and this event tomorrow will bring is a new respect, a new understanding, and a new sensitivity for the veterans on campus."
Jevis also noted that this discussion will be a prelude to more Veterans Day events in the coming weeks.
