Joe is volunteering for the Human Library Champaign-Urbana with the title ‘Air Force Veteran.’ When asked why he felt it was important to volunteer, Joe said “The effects of military service, war, or trauma manifest differently in each airman, Marine, sailor, or soldier. This diversity, however, is not well represented in popular or news media. I would like to humanize the military experience by giving readers a different perspective of the effects of war.”
