The Mission to Build an Inclusive, Story-Driven Virtual War Memorial | Anschuetz on Leadership

The Big Themes:


Introducing Task Force Tribute (TFT): Inspired by a group of
military veterans in Chicago who walked 13 miles to honor 13
service members who died during the withdrawal from Afghanistan,
TFT comprises a small group of people who are traveling 7,054
miles together, to all corners of the country, one mile for every
service member lost during the Global War on Terror.

Creating a virtual memorial to those we've lost: During the
cross-country trip, TFT will be raising awareness around its
intent to collaborate with leading tech companies in the U.S. to
build what Christian calls "the first highly inclusive and
encompassing virtual war memorial."

How listeners can get involved: Christian suggests three
actions to take. First, just spend some time learning about the
effort and following the journey. Second, make a donation of
$70.54, or any amount, to help support the trip and the memorial.
Finally, anyone who is a military member or family of a military
member, reach out to the TFT team to share your stories.



The Big Quote: "So many people don't want to talk about this kind
of stuff, because they don't want to talk about themselves. We
want to make it clear that this is an opportunity for our
military members to talk about the other great women and men that
they served with, and the great examples that they saw, and
candidly, and provide a ground truth, if you will, to the history
that they were all part of making."
