Review of Coping with war

Megan Haller's segment on teenagers with parents deployed in the war as well as deployment and reunion workshops combines emotional and informative elements for an excellent story.
Haller's first interview with a teenager whose parent is in Iraq presents a voice uncommon in mainstream radio. Much of radio time about the war focuses on those not in the emotional fray of the war itself. Excellent narration throughout the piece guides the listener into information on deployment and reunion workshops.
I have never before heard anything on workshops like these before, and as such, I applaud Haller for presenting a unique facet of a common subject such as the war.
The interview with the teenager and Griggs is well-executed. Clean cuts and clear, concise narration create a professional piece.
