Serving with Pride -
after action

From 1994 until 2011, the military operated under a policy called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which prohibited openly gay or bisexual people from serving in the armed forces. While that policy was repealed, its legacy reverberates today, depriving some veterans of their full benefits. And though service members may now serve openly as their authentic selves, some fear future legislation or executive orders may negatively impact their service. James Bond, Tammy Smith and Jason Vero, three veterans who served - and are serving - with pride, join host Stacy Pearsall.

About After Action:

After Action, hosted by Air Force Veteran Stacy Pearsall, is a series of seven 1-hour episodes that captures the raw experiences of veterans around military training, deployment and, most of all, life after action.

Every episode features an intimate conversation guided by Pearsall with whom each participant identifies and trusts.

This round circle, reality-based approach engages viewers to earn a greater understanding of the issue's members of the military face.

The series also portrays a reality that is perhaps atypical to each generation of service men and women.

The series seeks to demystify the military experience, provide a platform for dialogue among military family members and preserve military stories, many of which have, to date, been untold.

It is our intent to help those who haven't served in the military understand the transformation that happens through serving and the journey service members experience "after action."
