Talk of the Nation Remembers Brook Park Soldiers

Many will recall the toll the fighting in Iraq took on Northeast Ohio during the summer of 2005. That's when some 20 marines from the 3rd battalion, 25th regiment based in Brook Park were killed in a single week. With that in mind - and with the 4th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq just a few days away - NPR's call-in program Talk of the Nation brought the show to Cleveland yesterday. Broadcasting from our studios at the Idea Center, host Neal Conan spoke with some Northeast Ohioans most affected by the war. ideastream's Dan Bobkoff has more.
