Abstract: This roundtable discussion—Veteran Identity Through an Intersectional Lens: Moving Beyond the Monolith—brings together diverse voices to explore how race, gender, sexuality, trauma, and cultural background shape the lived experiences of veterans. Moderated by Dr. Leeshe Grimes, a retired US Army combat veteran and mental health clinician, this panel features insights from veteran advocates, scholars, and civilian allies who challenge the singular, dominant narrative of the American veteran. With a focus on storytelling, research, and lived experience, the conversation highlights systemic failures in veteran care, cultural blind spots in policy, and the emotional toll of exclusion. Panelists reflect on their personal and professional journeys to advocate for a more inclusive understanding of veteran identity. From the invisibility of women and LGBTQ+ veterans to the racialized distribution of military roles and benefits, this dialogue underscores the urgent need for intersectional frameworks in both veteran services and public discourse. The discussion sheds light on long-standing injustices and offers actionable recommendations, including policy reform, culturally competent care, and representation in leadership. Held over Memorial Day weekend, the conversation honors the complexity of service, the diversity of those who serve, and the responsibility to remember all veterans in full, not just in part.
