43INC with Sebastian Junger

Join Mission43 for an opportunity to engage with a principal narrator of the global war on terror: bestselling author and filmmaker Sebastian Junger. Explore themes of homecoming, purpose, and community in a discussion at the Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse.

43INC - Innovate. Network. Connect. - is Mission43's speaker series, bringing influential voices, fresh ideas, and meaningful conversations to Idaho's military community.

We are excited to host a special evening with bestselling author, journalist, and filmmaker Sebastian Junger, author of Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging.

As Mission43 marks its 10th anniversary and reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11, this conversation will explore the ideas at the heart of Tribe through the lens of service, belonging, and community. Drawing on decades of reporting alongside U.S. service members and documenting the realities of war, Junger will share insights into what creates connection, why community matters, and how shared experiences continue to shape our lives long after military service.

Hosted at the Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse, this 43INC event offers Mission43 members the opportunity to hear directly from Junger, engage in thoughtful conversation, and connect with others around themes that have defined a generation of service members, veterans, military families, and their communities.
