Inspiring Veteran Speakers: No Two Stores are the Same

Millions of people have served in the military in a wide variety of ways. In 2023, it was estimated that there were more than 18 million living veterans in the United States, representing about 6% of the total population. Veteran issues, such as support after deployment, veterans’ rights and mental and physical disability assistance are therefore paramount concerns in the US.

Our veteran speakers do not speak for the entire veteran population as no two stories are the same, but they are able to share personal, thought-provoking stories of serving their country and the realities of those experiences. Booking a veteran to speak at your event does not have to be all about military service, nor are they restricted to speak to other military personnel only. These proficient speakers use their experience from the military to talk about leadership, motivation, camaraderie and purpose, to mention a few, all of which can be applied to all manner of lives, both professionally and personally. Our roster consists of inspirational and powerful personalities, including officers, experts, leaders and authors, all ready to enlighten your attendees with stories from the front lines - and the life of veterans once they return home.

Most military veterans return from active duty with physical and psychological scars. Many suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, which makes assimilating back into a peaceful existence difficult, and physical disabilities like loss of limbs or chronic pain can make for a difficult transition to the mundane, civilian life. But in suffering with these conditions, and learning to live with them, veterans are also examples of profound resilience and strength, whose voices are all too often underrepresented. 

By booking a veteran speaker today, you contribute to an open conversation around the impacts of war while giving your attendees an inspiring and memorable experience. Honor the veterans and the sacrifice they have made as they are given the opportunities to tell their story. A veteran speaker adds value and humanity to your event, no matter the occasion. Contact A-Speakers today, where our professional consultants stand at the ready to help you find the perfect veteran speaker for your next happening.
