“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 roamed 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 posted its “On the Ground” reports within www.engagewisconsin.org/lzlambeau and our Facebook Page. In addition to our reports, we have asked event attendees to dial our Story Hotline and answer a few questions. Share their opinions. Include their voice in our project.

www.lzlambeau.tumblr.com is an extension of this project provides 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… To view WPT produced stories from LZ Lambeau, a 3-day community engagement event supporting Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories (airing in May), go to www.engagewisconsin.org/lzlambeau
