New series highlights memories of Vietnam War veteran

April 30 of this year marks the 51st anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and the Fall of Saigon. A new podcast shares the story of a Marine's experience in that conflict— and the family connection that helped tell the story.

"Reconnaissance Man" will be premiering on Combat Story beginning Sunday. Guest: Ashly McGlone, journalist/creator, "Reconnaissance Man"
