Vietnam, "What a Vet Wants You to Know" is a four-part series featuring veterans from Cattaraugus County who share their experiences in four six-minute films.

We hope that you can join us the night of the premiere presentation which is free to the public on Friday, April 8, 2022 starting at 7 p.m. at the Hollywood Theater in Gowanda, NY.

Our goal for this project is to give students the opportunity to hear what veterans who grew up where they grew up to hear a local perspective of the Vietnam conflict, allowing them to gain an understanding of the lasting impact war can have on individuals and their communities.

This project was specifically designed to be used in history classes and was developed with the assistance of two local teachers, Katie Wolfgang from Olean City School District and Dollene Christopher from Allegany/Limestone Central School District. These teachers directed the information included, length of the individual films, created lesson plans that follow NYS Standards for each of the four chapters and introduced each chapter as hosts in the productions.
