DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Silence: Stories of Vietnam Veterans\n\n\nCollege of the Ozarks will present its annual\, free\, patriotic play\, October through November\, on select dates. Back by popular demand\, the play is "Breaking the Silence: Stories of Vietnam Veterans\," which tells the stories of five heroes\, all who have connections to the College.\n\n\n\nThis true story chronicles the lives of five Veterans: Army Nurse Lou Eisenbrandt\; Army Colonel Tony Nadal\; 1st Marine Colonel Bill Duncan\, otherwise known as Texas Pete\; Colonel Donald "Doc" Ballard\, Navy corpsman with the 4th Marines and Medal of Honor recipient\; and Sergeant John Ligato\, Marine platoon leader.

Breaking the Silence is a play which tells these true stories with the hope that younger generations will recognize the sacrifices of their grandparents\, the heartbreaking way American soldiers were treated as they returned home from Vietnam\, and the disillusionment of anti-American philosophy which has pervaded our country.\n\n\n\n"Out of the darkness of political misguidance from Washington surrounding the Vietnam War are the stories of the men and women who admirably served\, shining like the setting sun\," said Mark Young\, M.F.A.\, professor of theatre and playwright.\n\n \n\nThe play is based on the book Vietnam 101\, by Dr. Jerry C.
