Veteran trio showcases special bond of those who served in Vietnam
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — All military service members have a common bond, but those who served in Vietnam have a different type of experience that makes their connection unique, no matter the job they had.
On any given night, the canteen at VFW Post 2108 is full of veterans, and several times a week, you can find Bill Blankenship, John White and TJ Miles. All three are Vietnam veterans who have been friends for years but did not meet until decades after returning home.
Blankenship was drafted into the Army, and Miles and White volunteered to go into the Navy.
Watch their conversation with News Channel 11's Anslee Daniel above in our final installment of The Vietnam War: 50 Years Later.
