U.S. Army Pfc. Wade Christiansen was wounded by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2010, severely damaging his left eye, breaking his jaw and leaving numerous wounds on his arms, neck and face from shrapnel. Several years later, he took his own life. His older brother is Matt Christiansen, a well-known YouTuber, who joins me live to talk about the issue of veteran suicide, a crisis that has affected both of our families.
The neighborhood is a little quieter this week after local schools started back up again.

Science, math, spelling, nutrition, even gym class!
