Description
If you weren’t there you may have wondered how combat in Vietnam looked. As a combat veteran you may have wanted your family and friends to know what you experienced, but could not express it. Now anyone can see and hear the experience of the 19-22 year old American grunt by purchasing the most amazing documentary of the Vietnam War. It was produced by perhaps the bravest movie cameraman who ever covered that war…and…he was Australian.
Join host Gary Lillie and award-winning cinematographer Norman Lloyd, along with former Bravo Co, 5/7 Cav infantrymen Russ Failing and Bill Little as they discuss battling the NVA in Cambodia, including the day that 19-year old “Shakey” was killed on the hill that was later named for him.
