Alys Beverton returns to Addressing Gettysburg as she and Matt discuss the way other parts of the world viewed the American Civil War

Who Were the Vietnam Dead in Gettysburg National Cemetery? LBG Lewis Trott suggested we do an episode that gets to know only some of the Vietnam soldiers buried in Gettysburg National Cemetery. We liked that idea. This livestream includes a combination of live, in-studio discussion and a trip out to the cemetery to visit four graves and learn about their life, service and death.

Thanks to Derrick Lewis from Civil War Explained for his assistance with the camera in the cemetery.
