The New Battleground - Veterans

Defense One and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America are teaming up for a one-day event focusing on the future of veterans in the United States. From problems getting care at VA hospitals and an increasing number of suicides to a higher than average unemployment rate and a war-weary public that still doesn’t completely understand what it means to be a veteran, ​this live event will explore these challenges and examine the way forward for this newest “Greatest Generation.” As the Department of Veterans Affairs undergoes its biggest transformation in decades, join us as we talk to experts and leaders about how to create a VA for the 21st century.

Panel sessions include:

• Veterans Care: Reforms for a 21st Century VA
• Hiring Veterans: Deployed then Unemployed
• 22 a Day: Preventing Suicide Among Veterans
• The 1 Percent: Bridging the Military-Civilian Divide

If you aren't able to attend, we will be livestreaming this event  on DefenseOne.com.
