 | The Soldiers' Story by Ron Steinman
In May 1966, 31-year-old Ron Steinman found himself Saigon bureau Chief for NBC News. Steinman left Vietnam two and a half years later. But the experience never left him. He reported in Saigon during the Tet Offensive and the siege of Khe Sanh, and was based in Hong Kong as Saigon fell in 1975. These events -- Tet, Khe Sanh, the fall of Saigon -- were searing episodes for the American nation. They brought home the horror of war in the first of several television wars. These events also molded the minds and hearts of 120 American servicemen who served in county at the time, when they were 18, 19 and 20 years old. The Soldiers' Story is their story AUTHOR: Ron Steinman
