For the past two years, we have shown two of the three part series of Coming Back with Wes Moore called, “Coming Back” and “Fitting In.”  This third and final video is called “Moving Forward.” 

This is another glimpse into the lives of the Veterans we have met in the other two videos. It also shows that a Veteran’s service may not be done once they come home. In order to move forward and on with their lives, they must find a new purpose. The Veterans, in these videos, find their purpose in serving others.

All Campuses
On Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2016,  Minnesota West will be broadcasting the third and final episode of Coming Home with Wes Moore “Moving Forward” at 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in the Commons on the Worthington Campus.

The YouTube video will be available so faculty and staff can watch it at his/her convenience and it can also be shown on campus.  The link is https://youtu.be/VeItRe5viOA

Please take the time to attend the Veteran's Day Program on your campuses as we honor our Veterans and current Service Members. If you have any questions, please contact Veterans Coordinator, Barb Staples at 507-372-3470.
