On this episode of Our American Stories, Tom Ross, a former Green Beret and intelligence officer during the Vietnam War, shares his powerful story of American service in 1968 South Vietnam. As part of a Special Forces “A” Detachment—an elite Green Beret unit—Ross witnessed the realities of war firsthand. Today, he's the President and CEO of The Ross Jewelry Company in Atlanta, Georgia, and the author of Privileges of War: A Good Story of American Service in Vietnam, a memoir that explores sacrifice, service, and life after combat. We'd like to thank the Atlanta History Center for allowing us access to this audio, originally part of their Veterans History Project.
