The Morrow county group thought the film was one of tne most enlightening films of the war In Vietnam ever made. The rum was first made by a photogra pher named Chuck Keen, a for mer photographer for Walt Dis ney Studios who spent more time In the war zones than any other American correspondent While there he realized the peo pie of America were not get ting the whole picture about this "funny" war so he decided to try to show some of the truth about it In a film. It so hap pened that John Wayne was one of those who first saw this film. He thought there should be some alterations made so he asked Mr. Keen If he might take the film to his studio and make the changes he thought were necessary. Mr. Keen agreed and the film was changed. The rum Is now completely narrated ' by John Wayne with appearances by Generals Paul Harklns, Com mander of the U. S. Military As sistance Command in Vietnam from 1962 to 1964'; Albert C. Wedemeyer, Commander of U. S. Forces In the Far East during WWII; Mark Clark, WWII Army Commander and successor to General Douglas MaeArthux as commander of all forces In the Korean War; Adm. U. S. Grant Sharp, Commander-in-chief of Naval Operations in the Pacific during most of the Vietnam War; Lowell Thomas, nationally known newscaster; Hon. Ezra Taft Benson, former Secretary of Agriculture; Hon. C. R. Lewis, Alaskan State Senator; Martha Raye, popular entertainer . who has travelled to Vietnam nine times to visit our troops; Peter Stark, former Green Beret who lost both legs while fighting in Vietnam; Norde Wilson, former Naval Aviator who completed 125 combat air ml Ions in Viet nam; Barry Sadler, Green Beret combat veteran who wrote "The Ballad of the Green Berets'; and H. Thomas Hayden, former of ficial for the Agency for Inter national Development who be came the most heavily decorat ed American civilian In Viet nam. Those seeing the film feela that It shows how the Vietnam war could be ended and that in a short period of time. ; The film also contains many scenes of actual combat on the ground and in the air. There were also scenes taken from planes while on combat missions over North Vietnam. If anyone has an opportunity to see this film we recommend they see it, especially if they have a friend or relative in or who has been In Vietnam because It will sure ly explain many unanswered questions for them. The film will be shown In this area if it is at all possible for us to get it. Notification will follow as soon, as It is received.'
