Hi all, This message went out without all of its web links. Hopefully this version will work! Gregg Greetings, I am one of the producers of the American history radio show, "BackStory with the American History Guys" (www.backstoryradio.org), hosted by historians Ed Ayers, Peter Onuf, and Brian Balogh and based at UVA's Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. We recently re-released a show that may be of interest to VA-HIST subscribers. "Coming Home: A History of War Veterans" commemorates the upcoming Veterans Day holiday by exploring the diverse experiences of veterans returning home from war over three centuries. How have we as a country treated veterans once they're back home? Are veterans only as popular as the wars they fought in? Highlights include interviews with historian Rebecca Jo Plant on the role that mothers and wives have played in the lives of returning vets; Frank Earnest, former Commander of the Virginia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans on conflicting allegiances; a group of senior veterans from the Virginia American Legion on their personal experiences returning home; and psychologist Ed Tick on how he uses lessons from history in his work with veterans and their families. The show will be broadcast over the airwaves in various US cities over the coming week and is also available for download and streaming here: http://backstoryradio.org/battles-on-the-homefront-a-history-of-veterans / An important part of our mission at BackStory is to create useful material for teachers. The Teacher Resources page on our website (http://backstoryradio.org/about-the-show/teacher-resources/) helps facilitate educators who would like to use the show in their classrooms. Feedback is most welcome as we continue to find ways to work more closely with teachers. Please let us know what you think, and how we can serve you better in the future! Thanks, Catherine V.
