The Uncertain Return: How Is the 21st Century Veteran Doing?
Listen now
Description
Not even one percent of the US population has served in the military, but the return of veterans from war has a ripple effect far greater than that one percent. This panel will examine how veterans survive and deal with wounds— physical, emotional, psychological—once they’re home. What is the impact on families? What support structures exist and are they helping vets find employment, health care, etc.? What is the tangible and intangible effect of multiple tours? Speakers: Dawn Halfaker, Joe Klein, Paul Rieckhoff, Roger Cressey
