Jeff Evans traveled 8,000 miles to Vietnam to honor the memory of his uncle and father - both were killed in the Vietnam War. His emotional journey led him through archives, jungles, & local villages, where he uncovered remarkable connections to the past. https://t.co/r3yGEugebs

Meet Staff Sergeant Arthur Wiknik! Drafted into the Army, he arrived in Vietnam as a "shake & bake" sergeant. Despite no combat experience,he earned his men’s respect by prioritizing their safety—a leadership style vital during the Battle of Hamburger Hill.https://t.co/dwT2uUWwTz
