It's Veteran's Day weekend, when we in the US honor those who
have served in our Armed Forces. In this episode of BackStory,
Ed, Joanne and Brian look at the many reasons for joining the US
armed services - from a sense of patriotism, to escaping poverty,
to earning American citizenship. They’ll discuss the struggles of
