Chris Haxel
Former Reporter, KCUR and American HomefrontAs a reporter covering military and veterans’ affairs for American Homefront at KCUR, I tell the stories of current and former service members and their families. I hold the government, elected officials and others responsible when they break their promises. And I explore how Americans can best uphold our commitments to those who serve.
I am a U.S. Army veteran and former print journalist.
