Q&A
| Question: |
The Nov. 11 show was sold out already so I have tickets for Nov 12. Is it possible to come see the keynote speaker at the NVAM on the 11th without a ticket for the night of the 11th? |
| Answer: |
Yes, you can absolutely still attend the reception at NVAM and listen to the keynote speaker even if you aren't attending Veterans' Voices that night. |
