Vietnam veteran Paul Gardner on lessons we can learn from war

Provided

55 years after serving in Vietnam, Rochester native Paul Gardner decided to write a memoir. “Once a Boy” not only recounts his Vietnam experience, but also offers his views on who fights in wars and who does not, how the public perceives war, and lessons that we can still learn today.

He’s in Rochester for a book signing this weekend, but first, he joins us on Connections. Our guest:
