Holly Petraeus' Advocacy for Servicemembers and Their Families

Washington, DC
Sunday, January 1, 2012

As the final U.S. troops return home from Iraq, Holly Petraeus, General David Petraeus' wife, discusses on "Newsmakers" the challenges soldiers face when they return from war.

Even after David Petraeus retired from the military to head the CIA, Mrs. Petraeus maintains her work for veterans and their families. She discusses the financial issues facing U.S. military service members – active duty and retired – and how the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is attempting to help them.

"Newsmakers" airs Sunday at 10:00 am ET and again at 6:00 pm ET on C‑SPAN.
