Guests:

Bucky Peterson, chairman of California's Troops to College Initiative, a program aiming to attract more veterans to California's public universities and community colleges by making them more veteran-friendly

Jeff Weston, veterans affairs coordinator at Sacramento State University and co-author of the 2007 Veteran Support Teams Guide

Keith Wilson, director of education service in the Department of Veterans Affairs

Aaron Glantz, independent journalist specializing on the impact of war on those who have experienced it directly, fellow at the Hechinger Institute for Education and the Media at Columbia University Teachers College and author of "The War Comes Home"
