Each unique episode is hosted by a Veteran and guest Veteran who field live call-in questions and discuss relevant news and events. Topics range from the practical to the political.

This show provides Veterans, family/friends of Veterans and local anti-war groups a perfect opportunity to get together on a regular basis and share information.

CVO Meeting at Cultural Center

October 18, 2008 - CVO Meeting at Chicago Cultural Center
It is important that all our members plan to attend the upcoming CVO meeting, to be followed by the screening of "Lioness." We are inviting the leadership of all our member organizations and we will be discussing building towards the trip to Washington DC in 2009. Let's make sure we have a good turnout.

The meeting will be on Saturday, October 18th at the Cultural Center on the corner of Washington St. and Michigan Ave (Click for map).

The meeting will be from 11 AM to 1 PM. Then we'll have a pizza lunch from 1 to 2 PM. At 2 PM will be the screening of "Lioness"--see the flyer. Lioness is a film about the first women ever to be sent into combat in some of the bloodiest battles in Iraq. This will help us all see what women in the military are facing today. The program will conclude by 4 PM.
