For More Information: Erik Ernst publicist, 608-265-3853 [email protected] Telling emotional stories that haven't been heard before, Wisconsin Vietnam War veterans recount their experiences in a one-hour television documentary coming to PBS stations throughout the United States this month.  Vietnam War Stories premieres at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11 on Wisconsin Public Television. The documentary will be broadcast in Milwaukee on MPTV Digital channel 36.1 at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10. Culled from the three-hour Emmy Award-winning Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories documentary, Vietnam War Stories presents a portrait of the war told entirely by veterans who reflect on their memories of the Vietnam War from the perspective of five decades past. For many, those experiences still feel like they happened yesterday.  More than 100 veterans from all branches of service were interviewed by Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) Producer Mik Derks for the program, sharing moving stories of triumph and loss in the field of duty, of sacrificing nearly everything on the battlefield, and of the strong bond of brotherhood and companionship in the ranks. Archival video, historical photography and maps evoke the stark imagery of the war alongside the veterans' stories. This is not the story of the Vietnam War, but of the men and women who went to Southeast Asia to serve their country. In the voices of a few resonate the stories – each unique, each profound – of the three million who served, the ones who didn't return, and those who passed away before their stories could be told.
