"Bill's Thud" documentary screening, Oct. 18

Hosted by Kyle Bergersen
Ethics & Excellence in Journalism Foundation Auditorium, Gaylord Hall, Room 1140
7 p.m.

Bill's Thud Trailer #1
Bill's Thud Trailer #1

Leo Evans (OU class of 1974) created this documentary to say "Thank You" to a generation of Vietnam War veterans. "Bill's Thud" is a story propelled by a promise from one brother-in-law to another - Clark Wiens to William H. Pachura, Lt. Col., retired, United States Air Force. It tracks the multi-year struggle to fulfill that promise - from an affectionate gesture of tribute by Wiens to his beloved "brother Bill," to an inspiring Memorial Day reunion between the man and his old war plane, through miles of military red tape and logistical obstacles, to a dignified memorial that sits today in a peaceful park in the fighter pilot's solidly middle-American hometown of Centralia, Ill.

The twin journeys of Bill Pachura and his plane to their final resting places are the focus of this film. But from those passages emerged a clear mandate to express belated gratitude to all airmen, soldiers, sailors and Marines who did their duty in that rancorously politicized and unpopular war called Vietnam.
