WYSO Weekend

There are a number of important issues and challenges the county’s Military Veterans and service members face every day - high suicide rates and other healthcare issues.  This week, VA Secretary Robert Wilke paid a visit to the Dayton VA Hospital and it’s these and other issues that we sat down and talked to him about during that visit. Here’s the full conversation that took place on Friday.

Bill Felker has this week's Poor Will's Almanack
