Event: Cardinal & Pine presents ‘Voices for Veterans’

Cardinal & Pine Presents
Voices for Veterans

Cardinal & Pine invites you to join us at Studio 215 in Fayetteville on Tuesday, May 20 at 5:30pm for an evening of straightforward conversations about the real issues veterans are facing today. You’ll hear from fellow veterans, advocates and policy experts about how recent changes under the Trump administration are impacting benefits and care, as well as how to access resources available to help you and your family navigate the system. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, share your experiences, and connect with organizations that can offer direct support. 

Registration for this free event is required and includes a reception with food and beverages following the program.

Panel: The Human Cost of Gutting the VA

Learn more about how policy changes brought by the Trump administration have been affecting veterans and military families. Panelists will walk through the real-world impact of these changes, including potential significant cuts to healthcare access. This panel will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Panel: Defending Democracy

As we face unprecedented threats to democracy, the military’s position in government has become more precarious. Panelists will discuss the evolving role of veterans as defenders of democracy and a last line of defense against authoritarianism. This panel will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Panelists will include Grier Martin (Chairman of NC DMVA), Scott Peoples (VFRL), Jay Carey (Resist & Persist), Bobby Jones, (VFRL), Dr. Kyle Horton (On Your Side Health), Rep. Eric Ager, and Ann Marie Patterson-Powell (VA Nurse).
