Our interviews covered topics as wide ranging Cyber Warfare, Women in the Military, the African American Military Experience, the Freedom Riders, World War II, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. We interviewed Cadets, young Officers, business leaders, and a retired USAF General (USMA ’54). Professor Michael Walzer, known as a political philosopher and for his book Just and Unjust Wars interviewed with the Center on the same day as Mr. Richard Duchossois, a WWII Company Commander and business leader in Chicago.
