The "Without a Roof" radio program is pleased to feature a taped thirty minute interview with Iraq War Veteran and Human Rights Activist Jon McLane from Tuscon Arizona. Interspersed will be a live studio conversation with fellow Iraq War veteran Izeck Hempseed and U.S. Navy Submarine Service Veteran Guillermo Mash, the show's host.

McLane is the founder of Safe Park in Tuscon Arizona and a recent Homeless Veteran housed through the HUD VASH housing program. McLane is also one of Without a Roof's personal heroes and a man making a difference simply because he can and that we should. An added bonus is a few words of wisdom from another Without a Roof hero, Tami Donnelson.
