What is it like to be a student who has fought in a war? Tune in for a special hour from the Stanford Storytelling Project. In "Returning Home," six Stanford students and recent alumni, all veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, tell their stories. With thoughtfulness, humor, and stone cold honesty, they share with us their decision to join, their experiences in boot camp, living and fighting in Iraq, and their eventual return home to civilian and student life. Monday at Noon.
