VHPA War Stories at the Phoenix 2007 Reunion

     Do you remember the joke, “What is the difference between a fairy tale and a war story?” The answer was, “The fairy tale starts out with ‘Once upon a time’ while the war story starts out with ‘This ain’t no sh_t!’”  This note announces the second annual VHPA War Story Contest, which we titled; The This Ain’t no Sh_t Ultimate Vietnam War Story Contest!  If you enjoy listening to war stories about Vietnam War exploits and experiences that are entertaining, informative, audience appropriate, and hopefully factual, then we invite you to buy this DVD.

     A DVD is available of the war story contest and Historic Presentations from the DC and Phoenix reunions. You can order them at this link.
