Boots on the Ground: Stories from the War in Iraq

The Exchange takes a break for a Veterans Day special from the producers of the Peabody Award-winning program "To The the Best of Our Knowledge.” "Boots on the Ground” examines the Iraq War through the stories, commentary and analysis of the men and women fighting there. We’ll hear from John Wroblewski Sr. who traveled to Iraq to see where his son, 2nd Lt. John "JT" Wroblewski, died on April 6, 2004, in Ramadi. We hear soldiers’ reactions to Helen Benedict's book "The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq.". We’ll meet Sergeant 1st Class Toby Nunn, who, after two tours of duty in Iraq, works for Soldiers' Angels, a nonprofit that supports veterans and deployed military personnel and their families and Jonathan Pieslak is joined by Marines and soldiers to talk about their favorite combat songs.
