KPFK is first in the nation to talk to and about thousands of veterans whose issues are our issues.  Whether it's peace of mind, healthcare, crushing medical debt, or life after duty, Cary Harrison brings real world solutions each Friday morning at 9am.

Cary Harrison has rejoined KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles for a new weekly series of 9:00 AM Friday shows called “Re-Thinking Heroes: Life After the Military”.  These full-length programs complement his daily 60 sec. syndicated radio commentaries currently heard across 80% of US radio stations.  Known for ‘preventing truth decay’, Harrison brings his free-range perspective which blends commentary, satire, and fact-based research to bear on issues facing former members of the US military forces, including housing and houselessness, reintegration into civilian life and communities, war and peace, privatization of medical care and other VA services, bad conduct discharges that hamper future success, problems facing women in the military and after milkitary service and other issues, as well as the lessons veterans bring to bear on solving social problems and issues. He is joined by a network of veterans who are journalists and by various expert guests.

AWARDS: Vanderbilt University's distinguished Siegenthaler Award for integrity, intelligence and courage in the field of journalism, the Sigma Delta Chi award—the highest honor bestowed for public service by the Society of Professional Journalists, top honors—two years' running—from American Women in Radio & Television for exposé reporting and investigative journalism, and 1st place honors for “Best Commentary” from the Associated Press. Harrison has been honored by the UN, the Mayor and City Councils of West Hollywood and LA for his Environmental and Peace work, The LA Press Club for News coverage, and was recently nominated for an Edward R. Murrow Award in Public Radio.

Cary Harrison is descended from the Mayflower and Abe Lincoln on his mother’s side and signers of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution on the other. Placed into Who's Who in 2020, Cary strongly believes in democratizing media and propelling a strong voice for free-flowing, accurate information. An award-Winning Radio Host and media producer, Cary founded VIPwebinars.org which features international talent from Nobel Prize nominees to Pulitzer Prize-winning authors and speakers - offering their "insider" knowledge on a full range of life's often-difficult issues.
