16— November 10 - 16, 2018 The Greeneville Sun, Greeneville, TN 16 — November 10 - 16, 2018 The Greeneville Sun, Greeneville, TN Feature Story Ann Curry reunites Vietnam vets in Season 2 opener of PBS' 'We'll Meet Again' By George Dickie As PBS' "We'll Meet Again" returns for its second season in this week of Veter- ans Day, host Ann Curry kicks things off appropriately enough with a tale of two Vietnam vets searching for the men who saved them five decades ago. Premiering Tuesday, Nov. 13 (check local listings), the opener of the nine-episode sophomore round of this series that brings together people whose lives intersected at piv - otal moments in history, introduces viewers to Dave Johnson, a U.S. Army colonel seeking the helicopter pilot who risked his own life to save Dave after a crash in Cambodia; and Roger Wagner, an Army finance clerk who looks to reunite with the surgeon who saved his leg after he was hit by enemy fire. Curry, who with her team helped affect the reunions, says she's hon - ored and sometimes a little embar- rassed when people come to her with details of their most intense and often traumatic experiences. "One of those men has been to Vietnam three times ... . This is Dave," Curry says. "And you're sit- ting and you're talking to this guy and you're trying to get him to talk to you about what his experience was like. "And then he gives it up for you," she continues, "and then he tells you in a way that you would never get from a history book, you'd never get otherwise what it really was like walking through the jungle and trying to keep your men alive. And then this moment that happens. In all these stories there are these mo- ments that happen and they're live- or-die moments, not always physi- cally die but emotionally die because of the pain of the moments." And that's where Curry must walk a fine line as an interviewer, as she must get her subject to talk but she must also be mindful of causing further pain. "These guys still have nightmares, so that is a heavy responsibility," she says. "When you're interviewing somebody telling you about a trau- matic event that they don't want to remember — they don't want to go there, they don't want to talk about it — there's a responsibility not to cause any damage, any further dam- age. But on the other hand, giving them an ear so that they can actu- ally tell someone they barely know something and maybe never see that person again, maybe that's also a benefit. So the question is, when you go in, where are they on that spectrum?" In Focus Ann Curry hosts "We'll Meet Again," which returns for its second season Tuesday on PBS.
