“Where We Once Stood,” a Vietnam War Documentary from Veterans United and Gary Sinise, Available to Stream on Prime Video Starting on Veterans Day

Veterans United Home Loans’ first feature-length documentary follows a group of Vietnam Veterans returning to the country 50 years after the war’s end

COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Veterans United Home Loans’ first documentary, “Where We Once Stood,” will be available to stream on Prime Video in the U.S. starting on Veterans Day. Executive produced and narrated by Golden Globe winner and longtime Veteran advocate Gary Sinise, the film follows a group of Vietnam Veterans returning to the country for the first time since the war.

Filmed in 2025 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War’s end, “Where We Once Stood” follows the Veterans as they revisit the pivotal places that defined their military service. Veterans United brought together Veterans from different branches of the military, many of whom had rarely spoken about their experiences, to face the memories they carried home and find healing alongside one another.

The documentary features Veterans from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. Among them are  Lt. Col. Robert “Bob” Jeffrey, who spent more than seven years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, including at the Hanoi Hilton, and Maj. James “Jim” Taylor, a Medal of Honor recipient who saved more than a dozen wounded soldiers during a nine-hour firefight in November 1967. Also featured is Capt. Buddie Joe “BJ” Penn, a naval aviator who became the first Black battalion officer at the U.S. Naval Academy and later the acting secretary of the Navy.

“I came home from Vietnam carrying a lot of anger and for years there were things I just didn’t talk about,” Penn said. “Going back with other Vietnam Veterans gave me the chance to share things I’d never told anyone before. Those conversations helped heal some of the wounds I have carried for more than 50 years. I don’t think that healing would have happened if we hadn’t made that trip together.”

“None of the Veterans on this trip had returned to Vietnam since the war’s end, and we wanted them to do it on their own terms,” said Pam Swan, vice president of military relations at Veterans United Home Loans. “The men in this film represent just a handful of the millions who served, and their experiences are part of our nation’s history. We owe it to that generation to make sure those stories are recorded, remembered and told in their own words.”

The film screened in Washington, D.C., Nashville and aboard the USS Midway in San Diego.

More than 50 years after the end of the Vietnam War, the documentary offers viewers an opportunity to hear directly from those who served and better understand their experiences.

“These men returned to places where they fought and lost friends more than 50 years ago,” said Gary Sinise. “Many Vietnam Veterans didn’t receive the welcome home they deserved, and this film is another opportunity to recognize them and make sure their experiences aren’t forgotten.”

What to Look for in an Online GLP-1 Provider: Meant Outlines Five Questions Worth Asking Before Signing Up

Published

on

By

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more telehealth companies offer GLP-1 care, the options can look alike from the outside, and telling them apart takes more than a glance at a landing page. Meant is sharing five questions consumers can ask when choosing an online GLP-1 provider, along with how it approaches each one.

Five Questions Worth Asking

Who makes the clinical decisions? A trustworthy provider should be clear about which licensed clinicians review each person’s information. At Meant, those decisions are made by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health.Is there a real evaluation first? Look for a health-history review before anything is prescribed, and for plain language that a prescription is never guaranteed. Meant’s online assessment covers health history, current medications, and goals.Can the company’s credentials be checked? Independent certifications are one signal consumers can verify for themselves. Meant displays the seal for its LegitScript certification on its website.Is it clear who fills prescriptions? Providers should be open about the pharmacies they work with and whether those pharmacies are licensed in the United States.Is ongoing support spelled out, limits included? Good providers explain what follow-up looks like and who handles which questions. Meant pairs care with an optional Care Coach, and medical questions go to the care team.

A certification is a transparency signal, not a government approval or a promise about results, and no checklist replaces a conversation with a licensed clinician. Meant does not diagnose or prescribe, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

Take a Closer Look

Consumers who want to see how the assessment, clinical oversight, and coaching fit together can visit Meant‘s website and compare the details against the questions above.
