The Commonwealth Club Presents Veterans of War - Veterans of Peace March 15, 2007

Don't miss a remarkable opportunity to hear from veterans of three different wars. As we approach the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war, recent veterans are adding their voices to those of wars past. Acclaimed author Kingston collected the stories of nearly 100 veterans as well as widows, spouses and conscientious objectors. Hear from three veterans of recent wars as they illuminate their struggles with trauma on the battlefield and the transition to peace, and they tell the stories that helped them find their own peace.
