The Platform Magazine September 2026 Issue
The September 2026 issue of The Platform Magazine honors the power of service, storytelling, leadership, and personal responsibility.
Our cover story introduces filmmaker Hannah K. Puder in “Led by Conviction, Driven to Tell the Hard Stories,” written by Jerry Viera. From her patriotic upbringing and early work in media to civic storytelling and the international documentary Operation Arnon, Hannah’s journey demonstrates how creativity and conviction can become meaningful forms of service.
In recognition of Suicide Prevention Month, Dr. Bernadette Atanga presents “Beneath the Armor: Veteran Suicide Prevention Begins Before the Crisis.” Drawing upon nearly 20 years of caring for veterans, she explores the experiences veterans may carry into their families, relationships, workplaces, and communities—and why connection, understanding, and access to support must begin before a crisis occurs.
This issue also recognizes Congressman Don Bacon as Veteran of the Week. In an exclusive interview conducted by Dr. Judy Staveley and The Honorable Rob Wilkins, Congressman Bacon reflects upon nearly three decades of service in the United States Air Force, the principles that shaped his leadership, military readiness, and his continuing commitment to serving the American people.
Published by The Platform Magazine Foundation, this patriotic September issue celebrates individuals who use their skills, experiences, and influence to strengthen their communities and country through courage, leadership, and service.
