Publisher's Summary:
Dominic Fredianelli signed up for the National Guard after graduating high school, not so much out of a sense of patriotism, but because it seemed like the best opportunity around: one weekend of training a month, a $20,000 signing bonus, and much-needed college tuition support. Soon, 10 of Dominics friends also joined up. Heather Courtneys new film Where Soldiers Come From follows the effect one National Guard Units Deployment has on this group of lifelong friends and the town in Michigans Upper Peninsula that they leave behind. The documentary premiers tonight at 9 p.m on the PBS program POV.
Then, Jan Scruggs is the Founder and President of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. Hell discuss the significance of the memorial, a book about it, Dreams Unfulfilled: Stories of the Men and Women on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the future Education Center at the Wall.
Finally, Linda Schwartz is the commissioner of the Connecticut State Department of Veterans Affairs and is leading the effort in that state to collect photos of all their Vietnam veterans to include in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Education Center in Washington, DC. Shes a Vietnam veteran herself and will discuss the value of matching a face with a name, and of preserving their stories. [Broadcast Date: November 10, 2011]
