These stories are the spontaneous sharing of experiences that occurred a Welcome Home event for the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division of the JBLM Stryker Brigade on September 15th, 2013.

Take the living room out to them!
Drunken Telegraph is a Tacoma-based live storytelling show. But, the storytelling isn't limited to the stage. Producers Megan Sukys, Tad Monroe and Britton Sukys built a "Port-a-Parlor" to take to events and invite people to share their stories.
