“There  is  an  instant  connec-on  when  one  vet  meets  another.  It’s  a  connec-on  that  transcends  differences  in  age,  ethnicity,  socio-­‐economic  status,  and  preFy  much  every  other  index  used  to  describe  the  human  condi-on.  Vets  who  have  been  in  combat  have  a  certain  credibility  with  each  other  that  is  impossible  to  duplicate  without  that  shared  experience”-­‐  Dennis  Gidnger,  NVC  V2V  advocate
