#749 FireSide Chat w/ the Crew - Are Veteran Organizations Ready for the Next Generation; 18 Oct 2026

Are veteran organizations ready to connect with and serve the next generation? In this FireSide Chat, AJ Cox and the crew talk about why younger veterans may not feel drawn to traditional organizations—and what those groups can do to change that.

The conversation looks at how organizations such as the VFW, Elks, and Eagles once brought people together and served their communities. The crew discusses adapting to generational changes, working across organizations, embracing new technology, and giving younger people meaningful ways to contribute and lead. The challenge is to invite the next generation in and listen to what they need, rather than writing them off as disengaged.

On the show: AJ Cox, Mike, Jess, and Erwin
