On the next Outdoor Explorer, meet Justin and Wella Jay. They met in Anchorage while serving in the Army. They were both deployed to combat in Afghanistan. They both came back with trauma from their wartime experiences. But as a couple they supported each other and found a way to walk off the war--on a six month hike over the Appalachian Trail. It helped them, and they think nature therapy could help other veterans. Thanks for listening!

The VA just released results of a nationwide audit on how quickly military vets get medical service. Alaska’s report card was good.

KSKA: Wednesday, June 18, at 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm
