Fifty years after the first U. S. ground troops landed in Vietnam, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities (VFH) is giving Americans a new way to view that war without the filters of politics or the national news media. With Good Reason (WGR), produced by VFH, is recording oral histories with scores of Vietnam veterans from all branches of the military, along with their families and Vietnamese allies. The resultwill be sound rich radio documentaries to share with a national radio audience, braodcast, webcast, and podcast.
