About Hometown Heroes
Hometown Heroes is a weekly radio show honoring the men and women whose service and sacrifice have secured our freedom. Featuring interviews with veterans, primarily from the World War II generation, Hometown Heroes presents history through the perspectives of those who lived it. The program began on one station – KMJ in Fresno, CA – in 2007, and began syndication to other radio markets in 2013. Now, you can hear Hometown Heroes Saturday and Sunday evenings at 6 PM. Host Paul Loeffler travels the country as a sportscaster for Fresno State's Bulldogs, employing the downtime on those assignments to connect with veterans from coast to coast. His experience has left him convinced of something you’ll hear him say frequently on the program:
“No matter where you live in this great country of ours, no matter how big or how small your hometown might be, there are stories there that should not go untold.”
