VIRTUAL: “Vietnam Video and Discussion – Diverse Perspectives and Veteran Voices” with Aaron Blais
This Vietnam War film and discussion program utilizes short videos to prompt discussion about the Vietnam era. Content is culled from Ken Burns' and Lynn Novick's PBS documentary, THE VIETNAM WAR, which tells the story of one of the most consequential and divisive events in American history. The videos explore the human dimensions of war that still haunt us today. Witnesses from all sides give their personal testimonies-Americans who fought in the war, those who opposed it, as well as combatants and civilians from North and South Vietnam.

In his capacity as a teacher, he directs the Veteran Outreach Initiative, a program designed to bring curriculum to NH high schools that incorporates students' interviews of veterans into learning objectives. He is a US Army veteran of Iraq.
