The National Defense

The National Defense welcomes the youngest grandson of US Military great General George Patton, Ben Patton, to the program. Randy and Jerry speak with Ben about his family's military history as well as his new project, I WAS THERE Film Workshops. The I WAS THERE program works to help veterans document their own stories of military service in order to help them both preserve their story of service, but to also cope with the sometimes difficult transition to civilian life.

The National Defense welcomes the director of the fantastic film "Kilo Two Bravo." Paul Katis, to the program to discuss his new film and the process of accurately telling this gripping story. "Kilo Two Bravo" is the story of a company of British soldiers who found themselves pinned down in a minefield in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan in 2006.
