Sacrifices made by service men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan

I'll be on the road for this Memorial Weekend ... and I'm not sure how much computer access I will have. In the meantime, here's an appropriately themed episode of On Point. A brief description:

"For most Americans, the sacrifices made by service men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan are — after all these years — still out of sight and far away.

For colleagues, for comrades in arms, those sacrifices are as close as a man's last breath. A woman's last word.

Memorial Day honors sacrifice across many generations. But this Memorial Day weekend, with two grinding conflicts underway and plenty of sacrifice out there, we'll hear from those who know it firsthand."
