In The Moment ... Stories Of The Vietnam Era With Gervase Hittle

Lori Walsh
Gervase Hittle

In The Moment ... September 20, 2017 Show 181 Hour 1

The Vietnam War, a film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick continues tonight on SDPB television. It's a documentary more than 10 years in the making and over the course of several months, we at In The Moment have strived to bring you compelling and thought-provoking South Dakota Vietnam stories.

What's the legacy of Vietnam in South Dakota? How has our cultural and political landscape been changed by combat veterans, by the music and art of the time, and by those who raised their voices in opposition to the war. I spoke with former Marine Gervase Hittle inside the Black Hills Surgical Hospital studio at SDPB's Black Hills Bureau on August 24th.

Chris is a producer for In the Moment.
