Vietnam documentary shows price of freedom

I think award-winning documentary film maker Ken Burns has another hit on his hands, “The Vietnam War.”

Even though this was the first war we actually got to see on TV, I learned so much from this documentary.

I lost my big brother, Maj. Bill Worthy, during the Vietnam War, so it’s true that freedom is not free. Now it appears we may have to fight North Korea again.

When will it end?

President Trump’s message Sept. 19 was loud and clear: We will not tolerate the North Korean acts of aggression any longer.

It seems they are just begging for war.
