DEA Museum Presents! The Other War in Vietnam
The Other War in Vietnam presents two drug law enforcement legends and their remarkable experiences interdicting drug trafficking during the Vietnam War. Retired DEA special agents Steve Greene and Hoàng Ly shed unique insight into their memories of the time. They discuss how they met, some of their drug interdiction cases, and Steve’s remarkable quest to reunite Hoàng with his family in the United States in the aftermath of the fall of Saigon. In this documentary, viewers learn about their unique experiences keeping U.S. personnel safe during the Vietnam War, and their 50-year story of brotherhood.
