ON THE COVER: The road back to civilian life after serving our country in uniform is a difficult one to travel. But UCSB continues to work on this road with a religious studies class, started by Walter Capps in 1978, which fosters dialogue between service members and college students. The cover image (by Steven Clevenger) shows a member of the New Mexico National Guard during the day-long process of returning equipment used during his recent deployment to Iraq.
