Smithsonian Channel

In honor of Veterans Day, we thought it would be appropriate to share a podcast that Smithsonian Channel’s executive vice president of programming and production David Royle conducted with Jan Scruggs, president and founder of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial fund .

Listen in as they discuss the significance of the Vietnam War Memorial in commemorating the heroic lives lost in the Vietnam War.

As families around the country gather together to celebrate our war heroes, spend some time and check out Smithsonian Channel’s special programming lineup tonight, including Remembering Vietnam: the Wall at 25, which is also being streamed on the web. More details on the shows can be found in my previous blog post.

Be sure to also read what some notable military bloggers are saying today on the web:

• SAHM & Military Wife
• The Home of Two of Jonah’s Military Guys
