The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.  Copies of the book are available for checkout at the library, or by contacting Vicki Bloom ( vdbloom@iusb.edu). For more information, or to RSVP, please contact Rhonda Culbertson, ( rculbert@iusb.edu).

The Veterans Book Club aims to better integrate student veterans into university life as well as enlighten the faculty, administrators, staff and other students about the challenges and strengths that these students bring to campus.  It also is open to community members interested in veterans' issues. It is made possible through a generous donation from  Jerry and Dorene Hammes.
