What Is Happening to Returning Veterans in Central Ohio?

Some Americans give up their lives to fight for freedom overseas, but what happens to them when they come back to the United States? Join Ann Fisher on this hour of All Sides to discuss the issues facing veterans upon their return.

Guests:

  • Michael Carrell (retired Colonel, United States Air Force and Veterans Resource Analyst, OSU Office of Undergraduate Education)
  • Richard Isbell (ADA & Veteran's Affairs Coordinator, City of Columbus Mayor's Office)
