People ask why this #Apollo11 photo Neil took of me is so iconic. I have 3 words to describe it: Location, location, location. #Apollo45

Remembering the Normandy Landings

This #MemorialDay , we honor our fallen brothers and sisters through continued service.  

Outside the Wire, and its partners Massachusetts General Hospital Academy, National Council for Behavioral Health, and Points of Light, are the recent recipients of a generous two-year grant from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation to present the Soldiers & Citizens Tour to National Guard and Reserve units and their communities across the United States, and continue community engagement using a responsive web-based app and Google Hangouts On Air. 

The Theater of War: Soldiers & Citizens Tour presents dramatic readings of Sophocles' AJAX – an ancient Greek tragedy about the suicide of a great, respected warrior – to diverse military and civilian audiences in order to engage communities in powerful town hall discussions about the visible and invisible wounds of war. The presentations are intended to foster understanding and compassion, while mobilizing citizens and resources to help improve the lives of service members, veterans, and their families and communities.

This reading of AJAX is the first in a series of Google Hangouts On Air presented by the Theater of War: Soldiers & Citizens Tour, and features Jay O. Sanders, Maryann Plunkett, and Jamie Sanders. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for information about upcoming Google Hangouts On Air. www.facebook.com/TheaterofWar
