Friday is Veterans Day. This week during Morning Edition, KUT has been reporting on how United States military engagement has left a lasting impact on the lives of Texans.

This morning, KUT's Jennifer Stayton examined advances in medical technology that resulted from the need to treat wounded soldiers.

“The only winner in war is medicine,” Col. Evan Renz said. Renz directs the Army’s burn center in San Antonio.
