Broadcast history

The program aired from September 1948 to June 1949,[1] initially on Tuesdays at 8pm EST, opposite Texaco Star Theater with Milton Berle. Each 30-minute episode was hosted by Bob Pfeiffer, who was also the announcer for some episodes of Captain Video.

The series consisted of host Bob Pfeiffer and others interviewing disabled war veterans and then asking viewers to come forward with job offers. The program claimed to have found jobs for one-hundred-percent of the veterans.[1] DuMont aired a similar series, Operation Information which outlined veteran benefits, from July to September 1952.
