Air date: Aug 21, 2012

Thousands of US military veterans return home to find it difficult re-integrating into civilian life and find meaningful work.

On today’s episode, we meet veterans who are building successful careers as farmers and helping others do the same. Chef Nathan puts together a fresh, summer cantaloupe salad – the perfect lunch for cooling off and nourishing the body on these summer days!
