Veterans Don’t Want Thanks—We Want to Keep Serving: Op-Ed from TCN Founder

Founder of The Chamberlain Network Chris Purdy published an op-ed in The Fulcrum, reflecting on Veterans Day and the lifelong call to service that many veterans share.

“[Now] we’ve come home and our time in uniform has ended, we find that call to service endures. Today, that commitment lives on in a new mission: protecting democracy here at home, in the communities in which we live,” shared Purdy

“This Veterans Day, honoring veterans means more than saying ‘thank you.’ Many of us don’t seek gratitude—we seek purpose. We have a complicated relationship with this day because we don’t see service as something that ended when we took off the uniform. The work we do through organizations like The Chamberlain Network allows us to keep serving, to continue fulfilling the oath we took.”
