War Changes People Permanently: Mike Liguori

I have an extraordinary guest for you today.Mike Liguori is a former United States Marine and veteran of the Iraq War.His short story memoir "The SANDBOX: Stories of Human Spirit and War" will be the topic of my show today.

Michael Liguori tells with great honesty about why people go to war, and with the same honesty he tells what's its like to come back from war.

He shows that war is not glorious, not heroic, but that it does change people permanently.

And he makes us see that the courage it takes to fight a war is quite modest compared to the enormous courage it takes to survive a war, to come home and make a new life with the lessons war has taught. A moving show indeed.
