More than 1.6 million Americans have served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As of August 1, 2007, 67,000 of them had been killed or wounded. In addition, more than 250,000 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans had been treated at Veterans Administrations hospitals since their return home from combat.
KPFA has launched "The War Comes Home" in an effort to put a human face on the conflict. Only by truly listening to the stories of soldiers who've come home, can we appreciate the realities of war and what we can do to help.

KPFA is part of a nationwide network of radio stations and affiliates known as the
Pacifica Network. The Pacifica Network is the only U.S. radio network with a democratically-elected governance structure. Our noncommercial broadcasting is listener-supported, and supported as well by more than 1000 staff members nationwide, most of them unpaid. The Pacifica Network has survived McCarthyite repression, investigation by the House Un-American Activities Committee, and attacks from reactionary forces in this country.
This important network needs the support of all its listeners as never before. One part of that support is to become involved with the election of the Local Station Boards of each station.
