U. S. Army National Guard Major Noah Siple challenges the social narrative around military veterans with his portrayal of the emerging generation of all-volunteer, post-9/11 veterans and how they choose to build communities differently. With a message applicable for leaders of all types of communities working to engage the younger generation, Noah offers concrete ways to attract young people and inspire meaningful social activism.

Noah is a combat veteran and recipient of the Bronze Star and Combat Action Badge. Living his message that a veteran's desire to volunteer doesn't end with military service, he works to create spaces for veterans by building communities around group affinity, and disrupting stereotypes about what today’s warriors really seek in order to feel part of their community. Noah Siple has a passion for enriching the lives of veterans through employment, education, purpose, and social connection. He advocates for building community in ways that meet the needs of emerging generations of veterans in Idaho.
