SOPTV Profiles Veterans

Wikimedia

Our attitude toward veterans certainly has done an about-face in 40 years. 

Vets returning from the Vietnam war were met with disdain and outright hostility in many places. 

Now we often thank vets for their service to the country, a service most of us can scarcely understand. 

Southern Oregon veterans and their stories get time in the spotlight--and on camera--in a public TV series called "My Story of Service." 

Southern Oregon Public TV begins broadcasting the series tonight (June 8th); the producer and a veteran join us with details.
