In honor of Veterans Day 2023, Fitchburg State University's English Studies Department, in collaboration with its flagship literary journal Route 2, presented "Watch My Six: A Veteran Storytelling Event," in the Falcon Hub in Hammond Hall.
This event was an opportunity for the greater Fitchburg community to come together to make space for stories that veterans are too often asked to carry in silence. Many gathered for hard truths and heartaches, pain and perseverance, and glimmers of hope. An open mic for storytellers in the community followed.
