U.S. Veteran Describes Fighting in the Vietnam War

By 1969, more than half a million Americans were stationed in Vietnam. Fighting in the jungle was chaotic and the goal was not only to accomplish the objectives of the mission, but to survive. This segment from Iowa Public Television's Iowans Remember Vietnam documentary includes archival footage and an interview with an Iowa veteran of the war. Major funding for the Iowans Remember Vietnam documentary was provided by Casey’s General Stores; additional funding provided by Prairie Meadows.
