On this edition of Peace Talks Radio (for Veterans Day week), stories about former enemies in war, reconciling between each other to achieve peace within themselves and, they hope, delivering a message about the futility of war. We talk with Dr. Edward Tick first, psychologist and author of book "War and the Soul" and founder of Soldier's Heart, an organization that promotes innovative approaches to healing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) -among them sponsoring trips for US citizens, veterans and non-vets, back to Vietnam where the US was involved in bloody war for over a decade in the 1960's and early 70's. We also hear from 2 American soldiers, Al Plapp and Tommy Laughlin, who made such a trip back to Vietnam. Carol Boss hosts.

Peace Talks Radio, the series on peacemaking and nonviolent conflict resolution explores the art and science of peacemaking. The programs consider examples of effective peacemaking in our history, and feature people with ideas about how to make peace in our daily lives - within ourselves and in our circles of common experience - our families, our neighborhoods, our schools, our workplaces. Some episodes also look at ways to address challenges to peace between nations around the globe. Peace Talks Radio is produced by the non-profit media organization Good Radio Shows, Inc.
