As we approach Veteran's Day, we have a guest (who just happens to be Maeve's dad) who had a impressive military career of his own. He's also an accomplished writer, speaker and storyteller and he shares the experiences that he had and other veterans have personally opened up to him about - an army nurse, a POW in Germany, a prisoner of the Hanoi Hilton and the story of the day small, elderly Japanese man, who was on one of the enemy aircraft carriers, visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
Thank you to all of our country's veterans. To those that served in peacetime and in war - thank you for your service. You do a job that not many of us are willing to do. You and all of your families have our deepest gratitude.
