Through live readings of letters written during War I and World War II, LETTERS READ: Veterans Day presented little moments where lives of military service members and civilians intersected. The November 11, 2017 reading focused on love letters from The National World War II Museum, letters from United States Army Air Force officer Francis I. Cervantes (1922-1945) to his mother while training for and serving in WWII, and correspondence between individuals organizing, administrating, and serving in World War I Newcomb Relief Unit overseas. This special event was held at Bastion, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It is an intentionally designed community for returning warriors and families in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans. Emcee: Chris Kaminstein, Co-Artistic Director of Goat in the Road Music: Peter J. Bowling Readers: Ashton Akridge, Mack Guillory III Special Reader: Melinda Flynn http://www.antenna.works/letters-read-veterans-day/
