1/5/08 Shakey’s Hill. If you weren’t there you may have wondered how combat in Vietnam looked. As a combat veteran you may have wanted your family and friends to know what you experienced, but could not express it. Now anyone can see and hear the experience of the 19-22 year old American grunt by purchasing the most amazing documentary of the Vietnam War. It was produced by perhaps the bravest movie cameraman who ever covered that war…and…he was Australian.

Join host Gary Lillie and award-winning cinematographer Norman Lloyd, along with former Bravo Co, 5/7 Cav infantrymen Russ Failing and Bill Little as they discuss battling the NVA in Cambodia, including the day that 19-year old “Shakey” was killed on the hill that was later named for him.
1/12/08 Rhapsody in Junk

“All the planes from Horsham St. Faith that day were B-24s, designated as “heavies.” The darkness lifted by 4:30 a.m., and a partly cloudy morning shone through for take-off. By 7:32. a.m. the lead bomber of the 96th Combat Wing moved out. The hulking “Rhapsody in Junk” waited to swing around off the tarmac and onto the runway. …Up in the cockpit, the pilot, Northrop understood the futility of their plight. He put the nose wheel down to surrender to the Germans, but beneath the smokescreen, they kept firing. Once down, he could not get the wheel back up, and it blocked the exit through the nose wheel hatch. He hit the bail out bell just outside the flak area. With just eighteen combat hours, the crew’s wings would be clipped, and they would spend the rest of the war on the ground as prisoners of war of the Third Reich.” Host Dale Throneberry and award winning author Marilyn Jeffers Walton talk about her father’s last flight on Rhapsody in Junk.

1/26/08 These Scars Are Sacred. These Scars are Sacred was written to heal and inform, to give the American public some idea of what it was like to come home to a place where one was not wanted nor welcome. This story will take you from an extreme place of combat and fear so realistic you will feel yourself being there to an ending that never finishes. The author, Elliott Storm, is a 100% combat disabled and decorated Vietnam Veteran who served with the 1st Marine Division. Join Dale Throneberry as he talks with Elliott.
