In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War, RHCR Theatre and the Veterans Memorial Commission will bring to the stage, “Iowa Stories: the Vietnam Experience” (IAS). The play was originally written in 1990 by University of Northern Iowa Communication professor, Marilyn Shaw. A decade and-a-half ago Professor Shaw, “saw a lack of recognition and awareness of the experiences that the men and women soldiers of the Vietnam War era received.” By engaging and recording the experiences of military personnel—in particular Iowa Veterans who served during the Vietnam War—Professor Shaw gained in-depth knowledge and a better understanding of the contributions and sacrifices allowed. The encounters shape the performance. IAS tells different perspectives of the same story by cleverly constructing Shaws’ interviews of twenty-seven Vietnam War Veterans. The performance follows the journey from enlistment and/or draft, to basic training, in country experience, and the aftermath. The play consists of nine characters: six men and three women. Each part is double-cast with a “young” version depicting memories and an “older” version representing the Veteran in present day. Teri Van Dorston, Assistant Director of the Veterans Memorial Commission comments: “We are thrilled to hold the performance of this important and timely production. It is an extreme compliment to the Commissions’ Vietnam exhibition that will also be open for theater-goers to view. Iowa Stories: the Vietnam Experience adds a verbal and visual dimension to the education and understanding of what our Veterans endured 50 years ago.”

The Memorial, dedicated in June 1968, lists all the Oregonians killed in the war as of the date of dedication, many added later. The building where this memorial was for almost fifty years had sold and the remodeling put the memorial in harms way. The Beaverton Post has removed the Memorial from its old location and it is safely stored. The Post is presently securing funds to build the Memorial's permanent home in our Veterans Memorial Park. This is an expensive project, approx $130,000. We have secured $63,000 to date but we are reaching out to the community, organizations and corporations for financial help.
