Another story introduces an Army combat nurse from North Bend who served in Vietnam.

The episode also looks back at seven “honor flights” that carried 1,500 Nebraska veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the national World War II Memorial, and in the final segment, two Tuskegee Airmen share their experience facing racism on the ground and freedom in the air during their service in the historic WWII fighter and bombardment group.
