Where veterans pose issues and solutions then document actions

Zack Baddorf is a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer teaching English at an industrial high school in Barlad, Romania. He joined the U.S. Navy on Sept. 13, 2001 and served five years as a Journalist, including in Iraq and Kuwait. He deployed to the Persian Gulf for six months aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Peleliu and spent a month aboard the guided missile cruiser USS Port Royal in Iraqi territorial waters protecting Iraq’s oil terminals.
Baddorf worked for two years at American Forces Network Tokyo, producing video and radio news and features stories on US military activities around Asia. During the buildup to the Iraq war, he reported, while off-duty, for independent American media at protests in Japan against the war. For work on-duty, he earned multiple military and civilian media awards and was selected as runner-up Navy Journalist of the Year.
The Delaware-native has also reported from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and about 25 other countries for National Public Radio, Pacifica Radio, Radio France International, Talk Radio News Service, and other media organizations. Baddorf is now chair on Free Speech Radio News’ board of directors and a member of the Canadian Association of Journalists.
