Vietnam War veterans share firsthand accounts with students
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Thanks to a unique partnership with a local veterans group, students at several Lancaster County high schools can get a firsthand account of the Vietnam War. A panel of veterans, organized by Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) Chapter 1008, provides students with an immersive experience, offering insights that go beyond what they read in history books.
The panel, which has been visiting local schools for nearly a decade, includes veterans from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, each of whom share their unique perspectives.
Education chair John Hoober, who organizes the visits, explained that the veterans’ goal is not to teach a traditional history lesson but to engage students with personal stories. “What do these kids want to know about the Vietnam War and the Vietnam era? Almost all of their questions lead to our personal experiences,” he said.
The panel is composed of diverse veterans with varying roles in the conflict. Some were boots on the ground, in the midst of the conflict, while others served in supplies, finance and mechanics. The diversity offers a well-rounded view of the war.
The veterans begin each program by introducing themselves and sharing their backgrounds, including their service during major events like the Tet Offensive and the Brown Water Navy’s patrol of the Mekong Delta. Afterward, students have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the veterans. At most talks, students share
their knowledge of the war, including experiences such as visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
They often ask questions about post-traumatic stress disorder and Agent Orange, the herbicide used during the war, as well as experiences of “tunnel rats”soldiers tasked with clearing underground enemy tunnels.
The panelists share their stories of danger and survival, offering personal insights into the physical and emotional toll of their service.
The veterans also bring personal memorabilia to display and share with students before
and after the panel presentations. Items include photos of the soldiers in their youth along with pieces of their uniforms or objects they kept with them while they served.
Mary Nolt, a social studies teacher at Manheim Central High School, has hosted the veterans panel for several years.
“My hope is students will grasp the power of living history through the Vietnam veterans panel,” she said. “These gentlemen always come with a smile and willing and ready to share their stories with the students. … It is one thing for us to talk about the Vietnam War in history class; it is
another for students to interact with and learn from those who lived through this time period in such a unique and special way.”
Along with a presentation at Manheim Central High School that happened earlier this month, the panel presented at Donegal High School, Garden Spot High School and Elizabethtown Area High School in December. January presentations also included dates at Lampeter-Strasburg High School and Cocalico High School. Upcoming sessions are scheduled for Columbia High School on Friday, March 21, and at Ephrata High School on Tuesday, March 25.

The influence that the late Stan Deen had on New Holland - as a teacher, a director, and a member of the community - is well known. Stan, who passed away in July of 2016, founded Garden Spot Performing Arts (GSPA), the Garden Spot High School (GSHS) auditorium is named for him, and, according to Mike Ressler, chair of the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) board of trustees, “Everybody (who knew him) has a Stan Deen story.”
However, it was a chance meeting between NHAHS founder Steve Loewen and Nate Deen, who was taken in by Stan as a GSHS student and on whose life with Stan the soon-to-be-released film “Brave the Dark” is based, that has resulted in an exhibit called “The Remarkable Mr. Deen.” The display will take up the main room of the NHAHS Museum, 207 E. Main St., New Holland. No end date has been set for the exhibit. Nate and Loewen were both at a movie at Penn Cinema in early 2024. Their short conversation in the lobby led to lunch and to Nate visiting a car show Loewen organized in mid-July - bringing along the 1973 Camaro Z28 that was used in “Brave the Dark.” More meetings and a tour of the NHAHS museum followed. “I said (the museum has) got to do something in conjunction with the movie,” said Loewen.
Nate agreed, noting that Stan had done much for New Holland, but that others deserved credit as well. “To honor Stan is awesome,” he said. “But there are many in this community

(who get involved). That’s what I love about this community.”
Stan was born in Lancaster, and he graduated from Penn Manor High School and later Millersville State College. Stan had developed a love for theater at an early age, and he moved to California, where he was an actor with the Pasadena Playhouse. Eventually, Stan returned to Lancaster, and he taught at Solanco High School for a few years before moving to GSHS. “When Stan arrived at GSHS in 1967, immediately, he organized a play,” recalled Ressler. Working together with teacher Frank Palumbo, Stan founded GSPA. In pulling together
artifacts for the exhibit, Nate found multiple comments from ELANCO School District superintendents calling GSPA’s most recent production “the best one yet.”
“Stan wanted everyone to be involved,” recalled Nate, who is now a director as well as a producer but admitted he had no interest in theater prior to meeting Stan. “If (Stan) heard (an athlete) was hurt and couldn’t play, he would invite him to be in the show.”
Ressler played in the orchestra for GSPA shows both as a student and as a professional musician following graduation. “(Stan) would get some

professionals into the mix and the kids would learn from them,” recalled Nate.
Loewen was involved in GSPA both before and after the 1976 car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Loewen recalled working with the stage crew when Stan asked him to take over a part for a student who had dropped out. When Loewen said he preferred to stay backstage, Stan visited Loewen’s parents to enlist them in persuading him to take the part. Later, during a production of “Winnie the Pooh,” a wooden and paper tree was crafted around Loewen’s wheelchair so that he could greet children and others in the lobby prior to the play.

Short-term fitness goals for long-term success
At the start of each new year, millions of people sets goals they hope to attain in the coming months. In a Forbes Health/OnePoll survey of 1,000 adults in the months leading up to the start of 2024, nearly half of respondents indicated that improving their physical fitness would be a top priority over the course of the new year.
Fitness-based resolutions are popular every year, but it can be difficult to achieve them. In fact, the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found that roughly 44% of respondents said their resolutions flamed out at the two- or three-month marker. Although there is no one-size-fits-all strategy for sticking with and ultimately achieving a resolution, breaking down the resolution into short-term goals can help people stay motivated and achieve long-term progress.
For example, people seeking to lose weight may aspire to do so incrementally. Weight loss goals were the fourth most popular New Year’s resolution for 2024 among participants in the Forbes Health/OnePoll
survey. Although that survey separated fitness goals from weight loss goals, the two are certainly linked. Individuals who aspire to lose 10 pounds undoubtedly recognize that such a goal cannot be achieved overnight, so they may aspire to lose small amounts of weight at predetermined intervals. For example, if the end goal is losing 10 pounds, they may aim to lose two pounds by the end of January. Incremental progress can motivate individuals to stay the
course and ultimately propel them toward achieving a more substantial, long-term goal.
Exercising for a predetermined number of days each week can also be a stepping stone to greater achievements. Individuals accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle can resolve to exercise three days per week in the first month of their resolution and then increase that by a day in the second month. A consistent schedule when designing this goal
Hillary and Josh Martin, who took over GSPA several years ago, are the children of a couple that was brought together by Stan.

“The Remarkable Mr. Deen” will include items pertinent to Stan’s life with special attention to his influence in New Holland. The camera used by Stan’s father in his work for Hamilton Watch will be on display, as will a Christmas tree signifying Stan’s mother’s love of the holiday. An area is devoted to Stan’s GSHS desk, and photos of Stan are placed throughout. Pointing out the differences between his and Stan’s backgrounds - Nate has referred to Stan and himself as Barbra Streisand vs. Metallica - Nate noted the large number of photos of Stan as a child. “I have thousands of pictures of Stan,” said Nate. “Stan was born in 1937, and I have pictures from his first birthday in 1938. I didn’t have a first picture until I was 6.”

The group also participates in community service, such as ringing bells for the Salvation Army during the holidays and sending sympathy cards to families of deceased Vietnam veterans.
Chapter 1008 currently has about 150 members and welcomes new recruits who served on active duty in Vietnam between November 1, 1955, and May 7, 1975, or in any duty location between August 5, 1964, and May 7, 1975. For more information, visit https://vva.org.
