    Military: From the Front Lines to the Home Front, Presented by Chase and J.P. Morgan

    Approximately five million Americans have served in uniform since September 11, 2001 and nearly half were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. How are returning service members adjusting to life after war; and how are veterans acclimating to civilian life? With a stellar lineup of military leaders, heroes and advocates, CIW explores how you can help those who put their lives on the line to fight for freedom.

    Speakers: Major General Marcia Anderson, Tom Brokaw, Taryn Davis, General Stanley McChrystal, General Colin Powell, Paul Rieckhoff, Melissa Stockwell
