U.S. State Department foreign service officer James Bullington was assigned to Vietnam during the war. It was there he met his future wife, Tuy-Cam, a foreign national, who served as his translator. The Bullingtons talk about their time in Vietnam, including the 1966 burning of the U.S. consulate in Hue. They also describe how Mr. Bullington disguised himself as a French priest when they were trapped behind enemy lines during the first days of the 1968 Tet Offensive. The Witness to War Foundation conducted this interview.

Full Program Airs Sunday, June 17 at 10am.
