High Noon Talks are back and better than ever! Get ready to discover interesting and often untold stories of Texas at our classic, casual lunch-time talk series.
Join professor, author, and Purple Heart recipient James Kearney for a talk about his newest book: Duty to Serve, Duty to Conscience, co-written with William Clamurro, which details his experience as a 1-A-0 conscientious objector during the Vietnam War. This classification allowed the men to serve their country in a noncombatant military role as Combat Medics. After the talk, Bullock Curator Lisa Sharik will moderate a Q&A with the audience so we can learn more about Kearney’s service and bravery. Be sure to visit the Bullock’s third floor gallery to view artifacts from Kearney’s time in Vietnam.
