News on the the 48th Combat Support Hospital from The National Defense

First, today I'll be a guest with hosts Jerry Newberry and Randy Miller on The National Defense Radio Show to discuss the road ahead, and treating PTSD with complementary methods such as yoga and massage. We'll cover the War Photographers' Retreat, and also might touch upon conditions here on the homefront, which included a visit from The Hubs this weekend. The show is downloadable through iTunes. 
 "They have a clinic open 7 days a week, and the national locals bring their children in, and you know.... we treat 'em, with gentleness and care."  -Jerry reporting from Afghanistan 2008.

It's hard not to pass up a hospital story, even if it is a bit old. But what they did then, still holds today. In 2008, Jerry Newberry,  the VFW National Communications Director and former Airborne Paratrooper returned from an embed to Khost, Afghanistan. Jerry always delivers the news in a straightforward, humble way, and captures the stories that the much of the media doesn't catch. In this episode, available as a downloadable broadcast, Jerry tells about his observation of the 48th Combat Support Hospital in Khost, carrying out diplomacy through medicine.
