To honor Veterans this week, I’ve been sharing episodes of American Veteran: Keep It Close on PBS Voices. I’ve seen a pattern in my posts since leaving a Broadcasting Career in Entertainment for the full-time job of raising my kids as a stay-at-home Mom: I naturally gravitate towards using Entertainment as a vehicle to teach, entertain, & connect with my kids.
On YouTube & other streaming outlets, I’ve discovered so many of the classic channels I love to watch. There are new formats for programming & easy access to the content. This week I’ve been sharing about PBS Digital on YT.
PBS Voices hosts a series called “American Veteran: Keep It Close”, with a new addition every other week until January 11, 2022.
Every episode of American Veteran: Keep It Close tells the story of a special object that helped a Veteran during deployment & beyond.
You’ve never seen anything like it. Follow #AmericanVeteranPBS on any social outlet to see what Moms are saying about the show.
