Public Service Leaders | Veterans in Different Levels of Government

Recorded live at the 2026 Flag Day Convening, this panel brings together three leaders who've carried the values of service from the military into the halls of government. Colorado State Senate President Leroy Garcia, military spouse and Capitol Hill veteran Heba Abdelaal, and Loudoun County Supervisor (and retired Air Force colonel) Michael Turner sit down to talk about what happens when a sense of duty doesn't end at discharge, it just changes uniforms.They open up about the moments that shaped them, the lines they've had to walk, and the lessons that don't always make it into a resume.They get candid about identity, bipartisanship, and what it really means to serve your community when no one's handing out medals for it. This is a conversation about leadership without rank, and why showing up for your neighbors, your county, your country is a responsibility that belongs to all of us.#vettedconversations#flagday#military#veteran#militaryspouseSupport the showFor more, check us out at www.wetheveterans.us and at https://linktr.ee/vettedconversations
