Phil Klay, a Marine, noted author, and commentator, is the host of the PBS special AMERICAN VETERAN. A four-part documentary series tracing the veteran experience across the arc of American history and exploring the present-day divide between civilian and veteran communities. From the citizen-soldiers returning from the Revolution to today’s warrior class, it is a deeply moving story, illuminating the veteran experience and drawing civilian viewers into an unfamiliar culture. Phil talks about his reason for joining up, MOS, time in Iraq, his book "Redeployment" and novel "Missionaries" with host Jim Fausone.
