April 30th marked 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War. While Vietnam veterans are now honored and respected, that wasn’t always the case. When many returned to American soil in the 1970s, they weren’t welcomed as heroes—instead, they were often met with blame, regardless of whether their service was voluntary.

Now, half a century later, Vietnam veteran Jim Dickson and the Atlanta Vietnam Veterans Business Association are working to set the record straight. Their documentary, "Truths and Myths About the Vietnam War," explores the stark contrast between public perception of the conflict and the lived experiences of those who served.
