Raising awareness of the challenges facing our military members, veteran communities, and their families.

Embracing Our Military creates a continuous community dialogue through special events, monthly programming, and more, aimed at supporting and educating the region about the complexities of the military population.

WQPT PBS and its community partners connect the regional military community to vital resources, foster understanding of military life, explore societal perceptions of soldiers and their service, spotlight regional veterans’ stories, and celebrate the contributions of the Rock Island Arsenal to the region and our nation.
