One of the many participants in SIU’s annual 9/11 Saluki Stair Climb at the Banterra Center shows support for veterans.

On this Veteran’s Day, we learn more about the work a Southern Illinois University Carbondale faculty member is doing to recruit rural veterans for a study about adjusting to civilian life.

WSIU's Brad Palmer spoke about the project with Justin McDaniel, an associate professor of public health in the School of Human Sciences.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
