Those will shape the balance of world power for decades to come.

As Bob Burke’s 737 lands at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, he sees a man strangling a woman on a rooftop below.

Mild-mannered and slight of build, this telecommunications company executive is easily dismissed as the "phone guy".

Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most were just trying to survive. From 1956 to 1976, from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home.
