Free Range Radio: Veterans Day Storytelling Special

We observe Veterans Day with stories. Stories straight from the mouths of military veterans. 

This week’s Free Range Radio features a storytelling special from The Moth. Four veterans share their war experiences before a live audience.

  • Pilot Dawn Seymour, who trained young men to fly in the early days of WWII.
  • Mike Scotti finds new meaning after returning from active duty in the Middle East.
  • William Cole served as a radio operator in a segregated unit in the South Pacific.
  • Bill Krieger tucks his daughter in at night before being deployed to Iraq.

These veterans tell their powerful stories with gentle humor and a few tears. Listen in for a slice of U.S. history with this Veterans Day special from The Moth Radio Hourand Atlantic Public Media, Sunday evening at 6:00 on 89.5 WNIJ and WNIJ.org.
