The Mission

Military life shapes service men and women in profound, unexpected ways.  Veterans' stories showcase the raw impact of these experiences:  A young Coast Guard recruit who helped ferry soldiers to fight and die on D-Day.  A pilot based in Nevada who remotely guided bomber drones over Afghanistan.  A young Marine who rose to become the first Latina general.  Hosted by Senator Tammy Duckworth, Iraq War veteran (Army) and Purple Heart recipient.
