American Veteran

Matt Roush says...

A big salute is due PBS for presenting this four-part docuseries as a build-up to Veterans Day in November. Taking a 360-degree look at all aspects of the military veteran’s life, during and after service, American Veteran interviews nearly 50 veterans of diverse backgrounds and eras, from the “Greatest Generation” that served in WWII to today’s Afghan and Iraq War vets struggling with disabilities or PTSD. Each episode is hosted by a veteran, starting with The Price Is Right’s Drew Carey, a former Marine, who leads off the series with a look at the transformative experience of boot camp, as recruits take the oath and the plunge.
