Vietnam: West Virginians Remember is a documentary from West Virginia Public Broadcasting featuring the experiences of five West Virginia combat soldiers. Per capita, West Virginians served the most and died the most in Vietnam. It lives on as America’s most controversial war – with questions unanswered, lessons not learned, and for veterans who survive, including thousands of West Virginians, haunting memories remain.
