- Description:
- This WKZO Special Army Day Broadcast features remarks from Dr. Willis Dunbar, director of programs at WKZO, Henry Ford Jr., mayor of Kalamazoo, and James Wilson, a member of the Kalamazoo Civilian Advisory Committee. Dunbar gives a speech arguing that the United States needs to maintain a strong standing military for the first time in its history but urges the nation to be wary of succumbing to militaristic thinking. Mayor Ford remembers the veterans who gave their lives during World War II and reminds the public that the Army is an important branch of government even during peace time.

- Description:
- The paper addresses the problem of rehabilitation of demobilised soldiers which is a neglected aspect of peace and reconstruction initiatives in societies emerging from conflict. Using the case of Mozambique, it discusses the problem of rehabilitation at the individual and community levels; and argues that successful rehabilitation depends on a deeper knowledge of the customs and traditions of the community; because, as shown by the Mozambican experience, a mechanism of community reception plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful rehabilitation of ex-soldiers.
