Guest speaker at RI Historical Society annual meeting

I am honored to be the guest speaker at the 191st annual meeting of the Rhode Island Historical Society at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012, at the society's historic (naturally!) Aldrich House on Providence's East Side. The event is free and open to the public.

The Society all year has been remembering wars in which Rhode Islanders have fought and my topic, appropriately, will be The War on Terror -- the post-9/11 conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan primarily. I will be including some of the findings of my 2011 Providence Journal series and showing clips from Coming Home, the award-winning Journal documentary that capepd our effort last year.

Please join us!
