Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
At an Army hospital in Germany, over 30 wounded U.S. soldiers arrive every day. Already over 7000 have been treated from the war in Iraq. Yet they receive little attention and the Veterans Administration is currently underfunded. We discuss the politics and reality of war casualties.
Guests
- Steve Robinson Executive Director, National Gulf War Resources Center, Inc.
- Douglas Bragg Assistant Veteran's Service Center Manager, Department of Veterans Affairs
- Xiomara Telfer Liason with the Department of Veteran's Affairs and the Department of Defense
