Flying into this weekend #panelcheck . Still plenty of time to get on the artist list for our Call & Response collaboration with @combatartcollective and @leo_jenkins ...take some this weekend to DM for details if you’re an artist interested in bridging the gap ! #veteranartist #veteranwriters #bridgethegap

We’re launching round 2 of our Call & Response collaboration with Leo Jenkins and @combatartcollective ... Any artists interested in taking an original written work by @leo_jenkins and creating an original piece in response should DM or email us at info@thetalk-on.com and combatartcollective@gmail.com. Submission deadline is Friday, 3/8. All talent levels, experience, and mediums accepted. Don’t care if you’re a vet or civilian. #thetalkon #veteranartist #veteranwriters #bridgethegap

New Talk On post is up, “Other Reasons #5: Leo Jenkins”. The Other Reasons is a series about why we fight, what we gained and learned, and how we define war in our lives beyond it. While most contributors so far have shared their stories in the form of an essay, @leo_jenkins chose to go a new route (free thinking is a particular talent of Leo’s). His writing and art thrive in the grey haze that surrounds questions about morality and purpose at war, and his artwork submission is no different. Check out the link in our bio and think about it. #thetalkon #veteranauthors #veteranartist #veteranwriters #bridgethegap #rltw

Been in radio silence for a few while we work out next steps. Good things on the horizon, check back soon. #bridgethegap #veteranwriters #veteranauthors #veteranartist #thetalkon #marinecorps #redeployment

Tag a group or company that’s bridging the gap by connecting vets and civilians out in the real world! Our new “Boots on the Ground” column (intro link in bio) will be a space on the Talk On to feature those organizations that are providing real, in-person opportunities for vets and civilians to build communities and relationships and write new American stories. We’ll find companies, non-profits, gyms, networks, teams, and any other group that is actively out there and write their story here. So when you’re done reading, you can head straight outside and start participating for real. Veterans and Civilians both. We promise you’ll be better for it. #bridgethegap #redeployment #veteranwriters #veteranauthors #marinecorps #usarmy #usnavy #usairforce

Awesome piece in The @nytimes At War blog today by Russell Worth Parker. One line stuck out for us: “It was the first of many occasions when someone asked me for my story but didn’t seem to know what to do with the answers”. —- Once we’re willing to share, what do we WANT our friends and family to do with our answers? Is it simply to listen? Is there some action to be taken, a next step in the conversation we’d prefer to see? READ THE ARTICLE at NY Times At War blog and let us know your thoughts. #bridgethegap #veteranwriters #veteranauthors #redeployment #marinecorps credit to @deadreckoningco for sharing this earlier
