Love and War

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

The first observant Sikh of his generation to join the US military tells us why he’s campaigning against the Pentagon’s dress code. Then, a World War Two tale of a Jewish couple who survived the Holocaust by hiding behind a church organ. And, a Vietnam War-era love story that starts with nothing more than a discarded scrap of paper and a stranger’s address. (Photo: Army Maj.
