http://www.cambridgema.gov/~/media/Images/veteransservicesdepartment/Misc%20Photos/veteranflag.ashx

What are the challenges for veterans returning home from deployment?

On August's Dialogue, WUOT's Chrissy Keuper spoke with Josh Combs and Thomas Whitley, both veterans and students at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville, Debbie Cohan with the Knoxville office of the Veterans’ Administration, and Rachael Cragle, Director of Advising at PellissippiState Community College.

Chrissy served as WUOT's News Director and host of monthly public affairs talk show Dialogue from late 2021 to early 2023. Her first job with the station was as weekend student announcer while earning her bachelor's in Anthropology from the University of Tennessee. She had previously been the station's local host for NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered news programs; occasionally filled in as host for WUOT's Morning and Afternoon Concerts; and won multiple awards for her interviews, feature stories, and Dialogue.
