    Service Abroad is Service to the Nation

    Ken talks to Carrie Hessler-Radelet, the 19th Director of the Peace Corps, about service abroad and whether it is also service to the United States.  The Peace Corps is different from most of the other programs we’ve discussed so far on Rebuilding America.
