#73: [War Stories] Pearl Harbor 80th Anniversary Interview: Earl Chung (Vietnam War Veteran)

Recently, The Greatest Generations Foundation brought a group of WW2 and Vietnam War veterans to the island of Oahu to observe the 80th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor Attack.

I was fortunate enough to meet these veterans at the Navy Hale Keiki School who has a close relationship with the Foundation. The students welcomed them as heroes and sang patriotic songs in honor of their service.

After the program, these veterans were kind enough to share their stories for this podcast. 

This particular interview was a surprise. We found out that Earl Chung, the bus driver for The Greatest Generation Foundation Tour, was himself a Marine Veteran of the Vietnam War. He is a Hawaiian native and is one of the most kind people I've ever met. He shares his incredible story of the evacuation of Saigon...and his love for Hawaii. 

War Stories is a collection of conversations with Servicemembers who share the memories that helped define their service. This collection is designed to preserve the legacy of military service, and honor the memory of those who served.
