Service To Service

Kentucky Center for Veterans Studies

The podcast of The Kentucky Center of Veterans Studies that aims to help you understand veteran culture one story at a time. Each episode explores the unique experiences of military veterans, highlights service and research taking place on behalf of the veteran community, or tells a single story of a veteran who does not fit into the traditional mold. Service to Service is more than a show about veterans. It is a story about the nature of humanity - courage, empathy, and resilience.
