From Enemy to Friend: A story of war, forgiveness, and reconciliation

Featured speaker: Paul Reed, Vietnam Veteran

Decorated veteran of the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade (Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Air Medal), Paul captured the diary of a North Vietnamese soldier he believed he had killed. Decades later, that diary led to an extraordinary meeting — and friendship — with his former enemy, told in the Emmy Award-winning PBS documentaries Kontum Diary and Kontum Diary: The Journey Home.

Guest artist - singer / songwriter: Sam Baker

Texas songwriter whose life and music were reshaped by survival and healing, featured on NPR’s Fresh Air in “Finding Grace in the Wake of Destruction.” His spare, luminous songs speak to grace and hope.
