This week we mark the 10th anniversary of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Please listen to the voices of soldiers haunted by the killing and human suffering.
Like many soldiers returning home from Vietnam, former airforce captain S. Brian Willson became a peace activist. One day in 1987, when he lost his legs during a protest against a shipment of weapons, it only strengthened his resolve. It was his way of dealing with what he experienced at war…and now thousands of new veterans are trying to find their way. On this edition, two generations of veterans cope with PTSD—looking to heal themselves and the world.
Featuring:
S. Brian Willson, author and Vietnam veteran; Drew Cameron, Iraq war veteran, and contributor to Warrior Writers: Move, Shoot and Communicate; Matt Fuller, Afghanistan war veteran; Carolin Kunze, Matt Fuller’s fiance.
