To honor the service and sacrifice of America’s military heroes, Pulitzer Prize-nominated authors Dino Garner and Liz Fetter will host a special Veterans Day tribute and multimedia presentation on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at the historic Hotel Baxter in downtown Bozeman.
The one-hour evening event, which runs from 7 to 8 p.m., is free and open to the public. Veterans, their families, and community members from Bozeman, Belgrade, Big Sky, Livingston, and surrounding areas are invited to attend.
The program will feature stories and visuals from the authors’ two acclaimed works — AEROMASTERS: Celebrating a Century of the American Fighter Pilot and their forthcoming release, SILENT SCARS, BOLD REMEDIES: Cutting-Edge Care and Healing from Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries. Garner and Fetter will share excerpts from both books, honoring the bravery of American fighter pilots and exploring the resilience and recovery of veterans facing the invisible wounds of war.
“The journey home is one of the most courageous parts of a veteran’s story,” said co-author Liz Fetter. “With SILENT SCARS, BOLD REMEDIES, we want to highlight the incredible post-traumatic growth that is possible, celebrate that strength, and build understanding for anyone who has faced trauma.”
Following the presentation, guests will have an opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with the authors. Complimentary light bites will be available, and a cash bar will be open. Each attendee will also receive a commemorative gift, including re-struck medals of the Lafayette Escadrille — America’s first fighter squadron, which served in World War I — as well as other collectible medals and patches.
AEROMASTERS: Celebrating a Century of the American Fighter Pilot chronicles the evolution of American air power and the aviators who shaped it. SILENT SCARS, BOLD REMEDIES explores cutting-edge approaches to treating post-traumatic stress and will be officially released on Veterans Day. Both titles are available through Amazon and other online retailers.
The Veterans Day tribute will take place at The Hotel Baxter, 105 W. Main Street, Bozeman, from 7–8 p.m. MST on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.
