Events

Interest remains high in the Vietnam War, fought five decades ago. On this Veteran’s Day, four ‘Nam vets recall what happened to them on the ground, in the air, and in tents that served as medical operating theaters.

• Former Warrant Officer Dale Throneberry flew Huey Helicopters into combat under fire.
• On the ground, former Seabee Larry St. Antoine found himself at Khe Sahn surrounded by a major enemy force that was tunneling towards its perimeter every day.
• Peter Dodge served as an Army medic in Thailand receiving incoming wounded.
• Lawrence Dolph, panel moderator, served on Night Ambush Patrol trying to interdict Viet Cong mortar attacks on a giant base camp in the Mekong Delta before he was named an Army news correspondent for the 9th Infantry Division.

Their remarkable stories of service, sacrifice, and perseverance will change how you look at Vietnam and the people who served there.
