Joan Najbar's son spent 16 months in Iraq during periods of intense combat. She talks about her family's experiences with "reintegration" from the perspective of a mother and a mental health professional. She also talks about the lack of awareness of colleagues, friends, and the general US population not directly involved in issues of war and peace and who don't make it their duty to learn more.
Michael William in Washington state, is a war resister on the cutting edge of GI supported business. We talk to Michael at his place of Work, Coffee Strong where active duty troops from the nearby military bases come for coffee and mix with veterans, resisters, and their families. http://www.coffeestrong.com - Coffee Strong http://www.givoice.org -GI Voice
