Join the VOW Talk Radio as we talk with Mike Liguori.  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” chronicles Mike’s two tours in the Al Anbar Province, as well as his struggle coming home from service, his personal battle with PTSD and finding a purpose after war. He is active in the veteran community through advocacy events ranging from lobbying veteran legislation on Capitol Hill with Iraq Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) to speaking on numerous panels about veterans in today’s society. Mike has also contributed to the development of the San Mateo County Veteran Treatment Court which provides veterans rehabilitation through court mandated programs and peer mentorship.
