One hundred years after the United States entered "The Great War,"  American Experience looks back at World War I. We'll examine its impact on Northeast Ohio, then and now.

We'll visit an area rehab center where modern day veterans are recovering from addictions, and learn how they're fighting back.

And, the Indians home opener is a day away and fans are saying, wait until this year.
