ROLL THE DICE:  Paul Rogers provides a rundown on what to take in during the VVA Leadership & Education Conference in Reno, including everything you need to know about the Silver Legacy Hotel and what to see and do and where to eat in and around the “The Biggest Little City in the World.” Plus, a rundown on the special Conference guests.    [On the cover]




A DAY FOR REMEMBERING:  A look at the featured speakers and others who took part in the Memorial Day 2024 commemorations at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Women’s Memorial, and elsewhere in and around Washington, D.C.                        


GOING HOLLYWOOD:   Associate Editor Trevor Strunk examines different portrayals of the Vietnam War in movies such as The Green Berets, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Dead Presidents, and Da 5 Bloods in the wake of the "real" war films of World War II.  



WELL WORTH WATCHING:   Arts Editor Marc Leepson reviews HBO's The Sympathizer, and reports that the seven-episode limited series starring the Vietnamese-Australian actor Hoa Xuande and Robert Downey, Jr., that is now streaming is a sterling adaptation of the great Viet Nguyen novel.
