AMERICANS FAMILIES ON THE HOMEFRONT

Guest host Ted Chen talks with military wives Janelle Field, and Lauren Sklenka about how they cope with daily life while their husbands serve in Iraq. Also joining Ted is Kristin Henderson whose new book While They’re at War: The True Story of American Families on the Homefront tells the story of what life is like for military spouses whose loved ones are deployed in the war in Iraq. She exposes the often-difficult aspects of military culture on and off America's bases. She is a journalist, an author, and a military spouse. Henderson participates in the Marine Corps' family readiness program, the Key Volunteer Network.
