Once again this year, Public Radio 90 is proud to present Veterans' Reflections, a collection of poems and stories from local and area veterans about their experiences in the military, from Vietnam to the Cold War to Afghanistan and Iraq. Our writers include Alex Gubbins, Michael Greer, Milton Bates, Robin Romero and Al Learst.

  Local military veterans, along with one son of a veteran, share stories and poems of life in the U.S. armed forces overseas, after the return home, and as children of veterans. Their words will tell the stories you don’t see on television or read in the newspapers, the stories of regular folk put in extraordinary situations.
