Watch 60-minute documentary: "Untold Stories: Saluting our Vietnam Veterans"

MILWAUKEE -- “Thank you for your service.” Five simple words that were never heard by many of the millions of Americans who served during the Vietnam War.

The United States’ involvement in southeast Asia escalated 50 years ago and more than 58,000 Americans lost their lives in our country’s most divisive war. For those veterans who did return home, many still bear the scars; physical, emotional and psychological.

Tribune Broadcasting, which includes FOX6 Milwaukee, announced on Monday, November 2nd that it will air "Untold Stories: Saluting Our Vietnam Veterans," a 60-minute documentary honoring the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women and their families during and since that conflict.

“We believe this generation of American heroes did not get the welcome home they deserved,” said Bart Feder, SVP of News for Tribune Broadcasting. “We asked our award-winning journalists across the country to help give voice to the stories of our Vietnam Vets and the result is a compelling and poignant national documentary hour and special series in every one of our markets.”

Untold Stories: Saluting Our Vietnam Veterans was created by Tribune Broadcasting’s stations and features the following segments and interviews:
