Vietnam Graffiti: Messages from a Forgotten Troopship
While visiting the troopship General Nelson M. Walker, artifact historian Art Beltrone stumbled upon troop compartments containing hundreds of canvas bunk beds covered with graffiti drawn by soldiers on their way to Vietnam. Beltrone and his wife, Lee, spent the next few years rescuing the canvases, taking pictures of the ship, and tracking down the surviving soldiers to learn their stories. Art and Lee Beltrone join host Mike Cuthbert to share what they found. Their book is titled "Vietnam Graffiti: Messages from a Forgotten Troopship."
