Vietnam Veterans Film Online

 
 
After a successful community premiere at the Chelsea Village Conference Center on Veteran's Day, the library is proud to announce that the latest film in our documentary film series, Vietnam Veterans, is available for streaming online, to watch in its entirety, at our website,

  

In this latest film, filmmaker Rob Coelius of Video Farm Productions documents a collection of perspectives of the war as told by Chelsea area men who fought in Vietnam. It was created to collect recorded interviews with veterans of the Vietnam War as a way of preserving their stories and experiences for future generations. The goal of the project is to capture the stories of our town. Among the interviews you'll see are John Glidewell, Milton Wood, Tom Zatkovich, Tom Power, Norman Wetzel, Walt Herndon, Tom Heidtman, Gary Maynard, Dennis Stoffer, Craig Maier, Michael Muha, Jim Alford, Keith Haab, Tony Keezer, Dennis Schumann, Rod Anderson, and Tom Steele


Vietnam Veterans was made possible by the generous support of the Friends of Chelsea District Library, VFW Post 4076, American Legion Post 31, as well as the contributions of many private donors.
