Points North: "Student Veteran"

http://ipraudio.interlochen.org/20090403VeteranDerek.mp3

One question war veterans don't appreciate is "hey did you ever kill anybody?" Derek Blumke says he's heard of worse things said on college campuses. Blumke grew up near Petoskey and served six years active duty as an airman in Iraq. He says the transition to civilian life and college was difficult. So he founded a national organization to do something about it, Student Veterans of America.
