Earlier this week we held the second in our 2012-13 series of ENGAGE breakfasts at the Long Center. This month focused on Central Texas’ growing veteran population and how our community is supporting these men and women as they return to civilian life. Panelists included Allen Bergeron (City of Austin Veterans Consultant), Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Kopser (United States Army and Chair and Professor of Military Science at The University of Texas at Austin), Steven Pullin (military veteran and advocate for the Heart of Texas Healthcare Network), and Texas State Senator Leticia Van de Putte (Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations). The discussion was moderated by KXAN News Anchor Shannon Wolfson.
