Maryland Public Television to honor Vietnam vets with $2.5M project, including a documentary

Maryland Public Television will embark on its largest project yet to honor Vietnam War veterans starting next year.

The $2.5 million effort will include a three-hour, multi-part documentary set to air in June 2016 and a two-day event at Pimlico Race Course to honor local veterans and their families. The activities coincide with the U.S. 50th anniversary commemoration of the war.

MPT will launch the program with a traveling exhibit dedicated to Vietnam veterans in spring 2015. The exhibit will stop at schools, libraries and museums statewide.

wonder how many veterans they could actually help with that $$ rather than POSING

I'm wondering if they'll let Jim Marrs do a segment on that documentary. I am somewhat more certain, though, that the true and real facts about this war and why it was fought won't be exposed. The real reason 50+ thousand of America's finest young men died will only be known by those who look for that knowledge. However, perhaps this documentary will perk some well deserved interest.
