Col Otis Evans: Courage in the Skies of Vietnam (Teaser)

Season 2025 | 30s

During the Vietnam War, three million Americans deployed. Over 58,000 never made it home, and many more who returned were forever changed. Among them is Colonel Otis Evans who served as a DUSTOFF pilot with the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division, flying medevac missions under fire with extraordinary bravery.

The National Memorial Day Concert is sponsored by Lockheed Martin and Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans and made possible by the National Park Service, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Department of the Army, General Dynamics, 84 Lumber and public television stations nationwide. All travel is provided by American Airlines.
