Veterans Speaker's Alliance (VSA) is a volunteer organization of military veterans which provides speakers free of charge to high schools, colleges, campus, civic and religious organizations, unions and other community groups. We also participate in forums and debates. Our members, men and women, represent diverse ethnic backgrounds as well as diverse branches of the armed services. We share a strong belief that, before young people decide about military service, they should hear about war firsthand from those who were there. VSA speakers can provide historical perspective. We can speak honestly and realistically about the tragedies of war, because many of us have been there. Students ask questions which reflect a lack of
understanding of the true nature of war and a lack of knowledge of
America's recent wars. Such as: VSA can help you give young people the information they need to make choices about the military and military service. Often when making these crucial decisions, the only voice they hear is that of a military recruiter. As a result, their information is one sided, unbalanced and may be inaccurate. As veterans of war in Viet Nam, Korea and WWII, we answer both tough and naive questions. But we go beneath the surface to describe some of the basic facts about military life and conflict. |
