  • HOUSING FOR HOMELESS VETERANS IN DETROIT & HOMES FOR POST 9/11 VETERANS

    27/11/2023 Duration: 57min

    HOMELESS VETERANS IN DETROIT Veterans are two to three times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population. But hope is on the horizon in the Motor City. Detroit has reduced veteran homelessness by nearly 50% since 2020 — almost five times the national average reduction of 11% in the same time period — and by 70% since 2017. The city is working to reach “functional zero” — when the community can house the number of veterans routinely entering homelessness within one month — thereby ending veteran homelessness completely. Several factors are helping Detroit make significant progress:  Diandra Gourlay, Vice President of Social Services at Volunteers of America Michigan, talks to our host Dale Throneberry about the specifics of the program in Detroit that aims to eliminate homelessness for our veterans.

  • IKE IN LOVE AND WAR & FISHER HOUSE DETROIT BUILD IT FOR THE BRAVE

    23/10/2023 Duration: 57min

    “IKE IN LOVE AND WAR” BY RICHARD STRINER Ike in Love and War shows the hidden sacrifices that made Eisenhower remarkable. It probes the mission that was driving him: the quest to reconcile his skill as a fighter with his mother’s pacifism, which led him to become the greatest peacekeeper of his age. More than other biographies, this one explores the man’s emotions. It puts the long-standing dispute about his romance with Kay Summersby in a new perspective: tragedy. Here is the story of a unique American, the passion and brilliance he kept concealed, the ambition that propelled him, the sacrifices that wore down his health, and the sheer self-mastery that made it all look easy. It never was. His achievements are timely as Americans face unprecedented dangers. This is the story of the world Ike made, the things he achieved, and the surprises that may still be in store for us as we strive to understand his life in full.

  • MUSIC FOR VETERANS

    16/10/2023 Duration: 57min

    Since meeting Michael J. Martin, by way of Gary Lillie, in 2004, Martin was a frequent guest on Veterans Radio. He was one of those “old fashioned tried and true ol’ troubadours” with ballad-folk songs that came out of the Vietnam War experience. Michael J. Martin lived the music he wrote and sang. His music had some miles on it. He and his partner, Tim “Doc” Holiday, both Vietnam Veterans, started writing and recording their music back in late 70s and early 80s. They led marches from Texas to Washington to make people and the government aware of what was happening to a whole generation of Vietnam Veterans. They are both gone now, but their music is still inspiring veterans of all ages. It’s as powerful as it is emotional. It’s letting the veterans and their families know that “They Are Not Alone”. Here is the playlist from this program: 1. United We Stand 2. Suitcase Full of Secrets 3. Take a Ride on the Moon 4. I Ain’t here alone 5. I Am With My Friends 6. VA Scuffle 7.
