Gary Yeager served as a Machine Gunner with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. After five months in-country, Yeager was wounded by white phosphorus and evacuated to the United States to undergo treatment.

A film crew accompanied Yeager’s platoon for thirty days, collecting film for a documentary about race relations titled “Same Mude, Same Blood.” It can be viewed here: [ Ссылка ]
