Since the USA was founded, and even before, military men and women have been an integral part of our nation. They are the very fabric of what defines us, then and now. Without their service, the USA would not exist. Our military personnel serve proudly, bravely, and dutifully. We owe them our gratitude. They honored their commitment – we must honor ours. However, we the people have not always held
up our end of the bargain. Budgets, politics and public awareness are factors. The goal of VET TALK is to increase public understanding of ALL veterans issues and to effect positive change. The show provides critical information for veterans trying to navigate the benefits system TODAY! The weekly conversation reveals what veterans face when they return…from the Veterans Administration, from the community and from their families. The show hosts, Antonio Correa (U.S. Marine Corps) and Fred Newson (U.S. Navy), also shed light on what military families go though during base transfers, deployment, and return from combat. Prominent guests include elected officials, government agency staff, and representatives of non-profit groups that help.
