They gather not only for special events or meetings, but every Wednesday morning to talk over breakfast at different locations around San Antonio.
Their support for alumni and current students in their district caught KSAT’s attention while producing the special, “50 Years After The Fall: From Saigon to San Antonio .”
The alumni who make up the Edgewood District Veterans have been meeting since November 2006. As many as 120 veterans are listed as current members.
KSAT 12 photojournalist Adam Higgins and producer Daniel Villanueva met with Edgewood District Veterans last summer to ask about their perspectives on the Vietnam War, its impact on the community, and to hear their stories, which are often kept within their groups or families.
