This week on War News Radio, “The Homefront”.  We first hear about a photography project that memorializes the bedrooms left empty by fallen American soldiers.  Then, we learn about the struggles that military spouses face while their loved ones are deployed overseas.  Finally, we speak with  journalist and author Marvin Kalb, whose book investigates how the shadow of the Vietnam War has affected the current conflicts in the Middle East.
