Emporia on NPR

From Emporia State University

Thursday, November 8, 2007

Kansas Public Radio's Laura Lorson talked with Emporia State University professor emeritus Loren Pennington about the "story-behind-the-story" of Veterans Day. He discussed the story of John Cooper and Alvin King, and how the celebration of Veterans Day expanded from Emporia to the rest of the nation. This interview will be heard during Morning Edition on Friday, Nov. 9, on KANH-FM 89.7. A list of Veterans Day commemorations and celebrations can be found online at the KPR website, kpr.ku.edu.
