Every voice in American Veteran, from hosts to interviewees, is a veteran's. From the citizen-soldiers who fought in the nation’s earliest conflicts, to the men and women in today’s all-volunteer armed forces, it is a rich and deeply moving story told through personal remembrances that draw civilian viewers into an unfamiliar culture. Their stories contribute to our evolving understanding of the relationship between Americans who have served and those who have not.

American Veteran: Keep It Close 

The digital series tells the stories of veterans and the special objects they carried during deployment and beyond. These objects, ranging from a puppy to a vial of lip gloss, have provided comfort, reassurance, and hope. Although the stories are unique to the individual veterans and their military service, the concept of mementos and the emotions they can generate are universal. 

“American Veteran: Keep It Close” is hosted by Navy veteran Shain Brenden, who is now an actor, comedian, and writer.
