Vietnam Special To Air On Vets Day 

0

Westwood One News will present a retrospective, Pain & Pride: Remembering Vietnam – 50 Years Later, a look back at 1967, a pivotal year in what may have been the most polarizing event of 20th century America. Nearly half a million American troops were fighting in Vietnam at that time and the anti-war movement at home was heading toward a fervent peak. The terror of war and a divisive home front is brought to life through the recollections of those who were there and from archive audio from Westwood One News, including audio from a similarly titled program 30 years ago. In their own voices, combat veterans share their stories with Vietnam War veteran and Westwood One talk host Jim Bohannon (pictured).

The half-hour special — airing Veterans Day weekend, November 10-12, 2017 — is available to all Westwood One News affiliates, Westwood One music format stations, and Cumulus-owned stations. It will also air in place of The Week in Review during that same weekend. Please contact Jim Jones at [email protected] or (202) 895-2339 for more information.
