The first episode of a two part look back at the Vietnam War on the 50th anniversary of its end. In this episode you will hear from military front line privates, to the tapes of the two Commander and Chiefs, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon,  as we listen in on the struggles of the two Presidents who had to preside over the war ,  the troops who fought the war, and several of the Prisoners of War too. 

The audio for these two episodes came from the ceremonies sponsored by the Military Appreciation Committee of the City of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as the Memorial Day events centered this year on the Travelling Vietnam War Memorial, the 50th Anniversary of the release of the Prisoners of War reunion  sponsored by the Richard Nixon Foundation and held in Yorba Linda, California, the audio tape recordings of both Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and the audio from the original POW Dinner at the White House in May of 1973. 

It certainly will show you that freedom is not free.
