(Atlantic, IA) – Officials with the Atlantic Rock Island Society Enterprise (ARISE) invite you to the American Legion Memorial Building (The Armory) in Atlantic, on Sunday, Feb. 15th, for a documentary film and presentation by Jeremy Glazier, entitled “From Iowa and Back: The Vietnam Era.” The program begins at 2-p.m. There is no fee to attend, and everyone is welcome.

Glazier is a photographer, writer and documentary film maker who has always been proud of his father’s service, and in awe of stories heard from his dad. Glazier realized that Vietnam veterans did not have the spotlight that veterans of previous wars and conflicts were provided. That prompted him to visit with many others to explore the lives of ordinary Iowans.

Through Glazier’s lens, the film chronicles these veterans’ journeys from small- town roots to the turbulence of war and to the challenges of reintegration upon returning home. The film honors a generation often overlooked, offering a platform to reflect on their truths and the impact of that era on lives today.

The American Legion Memorial Building in Atlantic is handicapped accessible. The program is sponsored by ARISE.
