Reflections of War

Reflections of WarThe Vietnam War was one of the most divisive periods in American history. This NJN documentary reveals the personal stories of men and women who served during the conflict. The Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Carlton Sherwood, host of the documentary, served in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive and is a decorated combat veteran.

Reflections of War also traces the steps of "The Last Patrol". In 1989, this group of fourteen veterans marched from Washington, DC to Holmdel, New Jersey to raise awareness of the need for a New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The success of their efforts and those of numerous volunteers culminated in the dedication of a New Jersey Memorial in 1995.

Reflections of War celebrates the opening of the Vietnam era Educational Center in Holmdel. The Vietnam Era Educational Center houses the only museum in the country designed to interpret the Vietnam War. The museum features a 360 degree time-line exhibit, touch screen kiosks and a testimonial theater.

You can visit the Vietnam Era Educational Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. Call 1-800-648-VETS (8387) or visit www.njvvmf.org for more information.
