Last November, to memoralize American Prisoners of War and Missing In Action, ROTC cadets ran 29 miles from UK's Barker Hall to Frankfort's Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We sat down with Air Force ROTC cadets Christopher Corley, Melissa Matthews, Erin Jewell, and Andrew Hoch, all of whom ran the entire 29 miles, to discuss their experience and what POW-MIA means to them.
This podcast was produced by Sam Burchett.

After settling into our new digs, we walked over to Shlomi’s for a simple but satisfying meal of vegetable bean soup, borekas (delicious filled pastries, pictured below, photo credit: Jim Ridolfo), and pita on, oddly enough, Abraham Lincoln Street.

And eat, eat, eat is what we’ve continued to do. The weekend begins here on Thurs. evening and lasts through Friday until Saturday night at sundown, when the Jewish Sabbath comes to a close. Like the people living here, the city also pauses to rest a bit, as public transportation and most shops and restaurants shut down from Friday night sundown until three stars appear in the sky on Saturday night. Consequently, Friday morning is the time when people catch up with friends, and the city hums with life, as everyone bustles about to buy groceries and make preparations for the Sabbath.
