Military REACH Project Manager
Dr. Mallory Lucier-Greer, associate professor at Auburn University, and Dr. David L. Albright, professor at the University of Alabama,
have partnered with AL.com to write a monthly column called Mission: Alabama. The monthly column has four primary goals, including
dispelling myths that surround military service and enhancing awareness of the well-being of Service members, Veterans (SM/Vs), and
their families globally and in Alabama.
To achieve these goals, this month’s topic draws attention to the fact that November is celebrated as National Veteran and Military Family
Month. In the article, called How to serve those who serve, they provide readers with military service-related facts intended to enhance
military cultural competence and connect directly with a diverse group of SM/Vs, their families, and military-focused service providers to
gain insights on how we, as a community, can celebrate and honor Veterans and military families.
Enhancing your military cultural competence and simply talking to SM/Vs are two important ways individuals can show their
gratitude and give thanks during Veterans and Military Families Month.
Check out AL.com each month to read their new monthly column.
