“On the Ground @ LZ Lambeau” is a multimedia storytelling project produced by EngageWisconsin, a Wisconsin Public Television Community Engagement Initiative. A team of young journalists will be roaming LZ Lambeau and related Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories events throughout the weekend of May 21-23, 2010, producing written and photographic essays, video shorts, and audio narratives, documenting the stories of Wisconsin’s Vietnam Veterans and their long-overdue “Welcome Home”. Throughout the 72-hour community engagement event, EngageWisconsin will post its “On the Ground” reports within this website and the Wisconsin Public Television Facebook Page. In addition to our reports, we will be asking event attendees dial our Story Hotline and answer a few questions. Share their opinions. Include their voice in our project. At the weekend’s conclusion, an extension of this project will provide LZ Lambeau attendees, Vietnam Veterans, and the families of Veterans the opportunity to participate in this project through the online submission of audio, video, essays, photography, etc…
