(NEXSTAR) - For many who fought in the Vietnam War, the process of healing from the experience has been a 50-year process that is still a work in progress. Younger generations experience the war through textbooks and movies, offering an abstract view of very real pain, loss and suffering experienced by the hundreds of thousands who took part in the conflict. In an effort to provide more authentic representations of what our troops experienced, Nexstar - the parent company of this news site - sent journalists to accompany veterans returning to Vietnam and confronting the painful and formative memories of their youth. Journalist Jeremy Hubbard traveled to Vietnam with the veterans and took on the task of telling their emotional and, at times, uplifting stories. Hubbard teamed up with a Texas-based non-profit that specializes in returning veterans to the site of their tour. “It’s a complicated story to tell because a lot of Vietnam veterans don’t like to talk about their experience there. And a lot of them don’t like to go back for sure,” Said Hubbard. “Their mission is to take Vietnam veterans back to the battlefields where they served. They try to get as specific to the location as they can so these guys can have this real sort of emotional experience of what it’s like to be back in the very places where they served."What resulted is a two-part special on the Vietnam War commemorating the fall of Saigon 50 years ago. The first installment focuses on the stories of survival and loss told by those returning veterans. Vietnam: A Lost Generation is available online and is airing on Nexstar stations nationwide. In the video player above, Hubbard discusses what went into chronicling the healing process for the nine veterans on this journey, many of whom were returning to Vietnam for the first time.
