In this special Veterans's Day episode of Sword and Pen, listen to nine one-on-one interviews featuring MVJ members who attended our first in-person 2nd annual MVJ Convention and Career Fair in Washington D.C. in October.

The interviews were conducted by Jeff Pierce, director of broadcast and media partnerships for that radio station. Jeff set up his remote radio station booth on the first floor of our venue at the Reserve Organization of America building. We each told our own stories: Why we joined the military, what drove us to go into journalism, and what inspires us now.

I’m also excited to announce that because of a new content-sharing agreement with Wreaths Across America radio, our show is now in their regular scheduled line-up. It can be heard at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/radio on Mondays at 10 a.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. EST. It begins with the very first episode of Sword and Pen.
