MANHATTAN, Kan., Oct. 1, 2012 -- Now is when the image of today's generation of veterans is being formed, and Americans need to have a dialogue on what that image will be, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said here today.

Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said he believes the conversation among Americans about today's veterans has started. "I'm just trying to turn up the volume a bit," he added.

Dempsey delivered the Landon Lecture at Kansas State University, and used the prestigious platform to focus attention on the dialogue.
