About this episode
Bill Butler, President of the National Veterans Memorial and Museum, joins the VET S.O.S. Military Transition Resources Show to share his incredible journey from Army service to museum leadership. Hear how a hiring freeze almost derailed his transition — and how networking, persistence, and a sense of purpose helped him land a mission-driven role in veteran advocacy.
Learn how the museum tells the stories of everyday veterans, from all branches and eras, and inspires civic engagement through powerful storytelling and community programs. From Vietnam veterans finally being honored to yoga and jiu-jitsu sessions that build bonds and prevent isolation, this episode is full of heart, healing, and hope.
💬 “This museum validates my service.” — Vietnam Veteran
