Our goal in this series of conversations with Iowa veterans who served in Afghanistan is to focus on individual experiences of Iowans who've done all types of work in Afghanistan over the course of the 20-year war. If you served in Afghanistan and would like to share your story, please email us: rivertoriver@iowapublicradio.org.
