Lemon Grove Historical Society to Screen Vietnam War Documentary

LEMON GROVE, CA: A Vietnam War documentary will be shown Saturday in Lemon Grove to mark Memorial Day.

"Brothers in War" reveals the realities of war experienced by American service members and the Vietnamese people in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. The screening, which is suitable for those 18 and older, begins at 2 p.m. at the Lemon Grove Library, 3001 School Lane.

"The event honors our military on the Memorial Day weekend and is an opportunity to learn more about the war that many would prefer to forget, but that scarred an entire generation in both the U.S. and Vietnam," said Helen Ofield, president of the Lemon Grove Historical Society, which is hosting the screening.

"Brothers In War" is shown with the permission of the National Geographic Society and Lou Reda Productions. In a no-holds-barred factual recounting, the film includes the soldiers' own audio and video, as well as archival footage of the conflict.  

"The Historical Society is proud to partner with head librarian Elizabeth Vagani and her team at the Lemon Grove Library for this special edition of The Remembrance Project," Ofield said.
