Veteran's Day

The book "Vietnam Photographs From North Carolina Veterans: The Memories They Brought Home" by Martin Tucker is a collection of powerful images from the war taken by the Tar Heel military men who fought there. Photo captions were written by the soldiers themselves.

For veteran Hartmut Lau, getting through the Vietnam War depended on a clear directive: "You perform the mission that you're given." But finally, after decades, he opens up about a devastating moment.
