As Veterans Day approaches, Scottsdale is finding new ways to honor and connect with the men and women who've served. One of those efforts is the Veterans Community Series, a monthly program from the City of Scottsdale's Veterans Advisory Commission in partnership with the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce and Scottsdale Leadership.

Joining me today are two people leading that mission — Justin Layman, U.S. Army veteran and Veterans Advisory Commissioner, and Barbara Hatch, founder of Imprints of Honor, which has spent more than 20 years helping students honor veterans through storytelling in the book series Since You Asked.

Plus, checking in with our sponsor Jeremy Mueller from Jeremy Mueller Insurance.

Calendar of Events:

The Veterans Community Series: Storytelling event is happening Wednesday, November 5th at 5:30 PM at Scottsdale's Community Design Studio. It's free to attend with registration, and everyone is welcome.
