Following the observation of Veterans Day earlier this month, the French-American Foundation hosted a Young Leaders Cafe to honor and celebrate the service and leadership of veterans and active-duty military personnel within the Young Leaders community.

Young Leaders from different classes and sectors convened for a meaningful and candid conversation that explored the challenges and rewards of military service, the unique journey of transitioning from military to civilian life, and how we can support veterans during and after their service.

This event was led by the following Young Leader alumni:

• Col. Melissa Dombrock (Young Leader 2023)
• Col. Seth Johnston (Young Leader 2022)
• Lt. Gen. (ret.) Leonard Kosinski (Young Leader 2011)
• Maj. Sarah Martin (Young Leader 2023)
