Annual Community Reception & Book Signing
In our after-school character and civic education program, students in Arizona schools interview veterans, research history, and write & publish the veteran’s experiences in an annual volume of our hardbound book, Since You Asked (SYA). VHP works with student to plan and host a free Community Reception and Book Signing to honor the veterans in the current year's volume, A Salute to Cold War Veterans, and present the editions. This year's program includes patriotic music, student emcees, student scholarships, recognition of all veterans in the room, a keynote presentation from COL (Ret.) James (Jim) Kelsey, a Vietnam veteran who also served in leadership levels in military intelligence during the Cold War, and a book signing. Attendees have the opportunity to purchase a book, and thank each veteran for their service as they sign the pages of their service story.
