Anchor Dave Zorn (Marines) and assistant news director Ronnie Bradford (Army) both arrived in South Vietnam in 1965 and saw action. They are going back together next month at the suggestion of KNX programming chief David G. Hall, says Don Barrett at LARadio.com. Their experiences will be packaged into a series of reports to air after they return. Zorn has written a book about his time overseas, Dinky Dau: Love, War and the Corps.
