Hear what it’s like from their eyes; and how it might be different from what a non-DoD family experiences in their move. What makes for a successful move? What increases their stress during an already stressful time? Ask them questions and make sure you understand a military move from their side of the process. \n\n\nThe panel will be live for those attending in person\, and also streamed on the IAM website for those with a virtual registration.

DESCRIPTION:JT Blatty\, author of the forthcoming memoir Snapshots Sent Home (Elva Resa\, 2023)\, will read excerpts from her manuscript and talk about her photojournalist exhibit “Front Line\, Peace Life” during Bastion Community of Resilience’s Veterans Experience Project (VEP). Sponsored by Got Your Six\, a Bob Woodruff Foundation Initiative\, VEP takes place Friday\, November 11\, 2022\, 10 AM—6 PM Central\, at Gallier Hall\, 545 Saint Charles Ave\, New Orleans. \nThe hands-on event explores diverse military experiences through artistic expression and interactive exhibits\, including visual art\, the written and spoken word\, performances and curated discussion panels\, followed by a dialogue with the audience to provide further understanding into the servicemember experiences. A number of nationally renowned veterans will be presenting at VEP. \nJT will take the main stage at 1:30 PM. As a photojournalist\, JT’s work has been featured in many publications\, including Bloomberg\, Oxford American\, and The Daily Beast. She spent the past four years in Ukraine. “Front Line\, Peace Life” shares the stories of Ukrainian volunteer soldiers fighting to preserve their country’s democracy. \nBastion is an intentional community for returning warriors and families with life-altering injuries\, with a mission to provide a supportive living environment for injured veterans and families and a holistic approach to community integration. \nThe event is free and open to the public.

By June she was on a bus heading to the frontline to fight with the Ukrainians against the Russian invasion. She joined the Aydar Volunteer Battalion and helped liberate and defend towns in the Luhansk region until 2015. She served on the frontline in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a Russian citizen until 2019\, protected by Ukraine from Russia’s request for extradition. She finally received Ukrainian citizenship in 2022\, after a six-year battle fighting Ukraine’s law requiring her to renounce her foreign citizenship on Russian territory\, where she is not safe and is wanted as a traitor.
