Nell Bright turned 100 this summer and was celebrated with a fly over by service members. As a WASP who served her country in WWII she received the Congressional Gold Medal. So glad I got to spend time with her for #AmericanVeteranPBS PBS GBH National WASP WWII Museum Women Mil Aviators
Kelly Wadsworth and Anuradha Bhagwati (Anuradha Bhagwati) made #AmericanVeteranPBS so visceral for me. I cannot thank them enough for illustrating how to carry the weight and move forward.
“Thank You for Your Service” doesn’t mean the same thing to all veterans in #AmericanVeteranPBS. For some it rings hollow, others appreciate the acknowledgement. My hope is we get beyond that one line to a deeper conversation Nicholas Irving IAVA Insignia Films PBS
