HONORING VIETNAM VETERANS AND MEMORIAL DAY TRADITIONS FROM THE ND VETS CEMETERY TO LOCAL EVENTS

This episode of Ladies of Another View pays tribute to those who have served our country, highlighting the experiences of veterans and the importance of honoring their sacrifice. Guests Butch Olson and John Prettybear from the Vietnam Vets/Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club join the show to share their insights. Butch, who served in Vietnam and is the State Secretary Treasurer, reflects on what it was like to return home from an unpopular war and how that experience shaped the brotherhood among veterans. John Prettybear, Chapter President and Chaplain, shares his story as a Native American who served in the military after Vietnam. Both men open up about their work supporting fellow veterans and the urgent need for suicide awareness in the veteran community. Their passion for helping others comes through as they explain the mission of their motorcycle club: to honor the fallen, support the living, and never forget.
Nathan Rivard, Public Affairs Officer for the North Dakota National Guard, discusses the upcoming Memorial Day events at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery south of Mandan. These tributes serve as a powerful reminder of the debt we owe our heroes. The show closes with more lighthearted Memorial Day activities for families, encouraging everyone to take part in remembering those who gave all.
