Episode 19: Eric Morris, Veteran for Peace, discovers CAM

Eric Morris recently discovered CAM and reached out to find out how he could join us. He talks to us today about his reasons for joining the military, why he "gets in a funk" around Veterans Day, and where he received his moral and spiritual formation when it comes to issues of war and peace.
