VIETNAM VETERANS SHARE FROM THEIR WORLD AT POW-WOW: What happens when Native Americans gather to honor, remember, and support those who serve in harm's way? Prepare to shed a tear as you watch deeply moving & authentic accounts of the Nam experience from Veterans at this powerful and healing weekend. PARENTAL GUIDANCE ADVISED. Due to the serious and slightly graphic details shared by some veterans, parental guidance is advised. POW WOW ORGANIZER: Chief Jim Wilson, Principal Chief of the Nuluti Equani Ehi tribe, dedicated his 14th Annual Strong Sun Pow Wow at Kernersville, NC (July 7-9, 2017) to Vietnam Veterans who were observing the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. NOTE FROM ANN M. WOLF: "Every year I prepare something for Vietnam Veterans which I release on Vietnam Veterans Day (March 29th) as a token of my respect and appreciation for service and sacrifice given. Releases from prior years include, "After Vietnam, The Healing" & "Johnny's Poem" as well as Joe Doyle's commentary about PTSD in "Our Time, Our Turn," all of which can be found in the video library here or on YouTube. This year I am sharing some very special footage of Nam Vets & supporters who speak from the soul as part of the 50th Anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War, something amazing which took place at the Strong Sun Pow Wow, organized by Chief Jim Wilson. The comments are raw and deeply conveyed. It was an honor to be a part of such a powerful, healing experience. I was there as guest presenter, having brought the POW/MIA/KIA ceremony to the Circle during Veteran's Honors, shortly after Grand Entry. I am wishing all of you a memorable and meaningful Vietnam Veteran's Day, today & every day." Ann M. Wolf ARTIST INFO: Songwriter & Recording Artist, Ann M. Wolf filmed the conversations which took place at this Pow Wow and brought them together in this special commemorative short film. She was present at the event as an invited guest where she honored our POW/MIA/KIAs with a special ceremony. For more information about Songwriter & Recording Artist go to: https://annmwolf.info/

ABOUT: After a gripping overview of life during the Vietnam War era in American History, (written and narrated by songwriter, author, and Chaplain, Ann M. Wolf), you will hear profound comments from Vietnam Veterans as well as from family members and supporters articulating the challenges which these Veterans faced upon their return from battle, as well as what challenges they are still experiencing today. Ann's hope and prayer is that this video will help folks understand a little more perhaps, about the struggles as well as the strength of our Vietnam Veterans while offering a hand of friendship & support to the special heroes among them, in their family or community. "Welcome Home Vietnam Veteran's Day" is every day"... PTSD & Parental Warning: This Video does contain some graphic depictions of wartime events and conditions; discretion is advised.
