Some 500 miltary veterans are students at GW, but what do you know about them?

Hosts Jared Pliner and Jesse Regis talked to members of the GW Vets including co-founder Brian Hawthorne, Kevin Devaney, Michelle Miller, Ryan Bos and Tom Conley about how the university treats them, the educational benefits they do and do not receive, the new GI Bill, the "yellow ribbon" program, the challenges of post tramautic stress disorder, and how they readjust to life as students.

At the close of the program, the swine flu epidemic was at the forefront. Jared shared details of his conversation with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Dr. Beth Bell of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about how H1N1 is affecting university life.
