Impact Cincinnati: Military Veterans and Families

From World War II through Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan, there are now approximately 23 million military veterans in the United States, with 1.7 million of them calling the tri-state home. Many vets need, and deserve, help with finding a job, education, and medical attention, but the process can often be complicated and time-consuming. 

Join us Thursday morning May 23 at 9:20, as we discuss the concerns and issues of veterans and their families. Impact Cincinnati, on 91.7, WVXU. 

Our guests on Impact Cincinnati this week are Veterans Administration Medical Center Coordinator for Dual Diagnosis Service and Past Commander of The Greater Cincinnati Women’s Post 644 of the American Legion, Kelly Knox, Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 3620 Commander Anthony Kohl, and WVXU Reporter Howard Wilkinson.
