    McDonough Talks | War Stories
    Nov 5 2021
    McDonough Military Association leaders Derek Cunningham and Chrissie Kasper join the podcast to promote War Stories. War Stories is an annual KEGS event and serves as a platform for military veterans to share their active military service stories. The stories run the gamut, and this is a fantastic event for the McDonough community at large. Not only will you learn more about the military, but you will have an opportunity to hang around after the storytelling session and enjoy some free food and beverages with military vets! These men and women are heroes for serving our country, and they're also brave for sharing such personal and private stories with the MSB community. We encourage you to be on campus on November 11, 2021, at the Lohrfink Auditorium from 5 pm - 7 pm to support these incredible individuals.
