ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. - Community members heard from Soldiers and Veterans this morning at Heritage Hall on Rock Island Arsenal as part of "Heroes in Conversation." The event is a dedicated storytelling and community-building event designed to honor the legacy of the American Soldier and Service Members, bringing together Veterans and active-duty military from a multitude of generations and backgrounds to discuss their experiences firsthand. Eight panelists participated, sharing everything from their favorite MRE (Meal, Ready-to-Eat) to what makes them feel most free and patriotic. The event coincides with Army Heritage Month, the Army's 251st birthday, and the 250th birthday of the United States.
