Marathon County Historical Society presents History Speaks – Honor in the Air: The story of Captain Scott Alwin and the 68th AHC
Event Name: Marathon County Historical Society presents History Speaks – Honor in the Air: The story of Captain Scott Alwin and the 68th AHC Event Location: Woodson History Center 410 Mcindoe Street Wausau WI 54403 Event Date: 08.10.2024 Start & End Time: 2:00-3:00 pm Event Details: This month’s History Speaks focuses on Captain Scott Alwin born and raised in Wisconsin having served five tours in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. He earned a record 136 Air Medals, Vietnam Republic Medal, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Distinguished Flying Cross, all with oak leaf clusters, but even more important, he earned the respect and admiration of his fellow soldiers and family. The film contains never- before-seen footage filmed during the Vietnam War by Alwin’s Crew Chief, Frans VandenBroek, as well as other archival footage and photos, and interviews with Alwin’s remaining siblings, his widow and children, a close friend, and several members of the 68th Assault Helicopter Company. What emerges is a moving portrait of a humble man dedicated to his family and his country and doing his best to make the world a better place. Susan Reetz is an award winning documentary producer/director/writer Susan Reetz, of Weston, Wisconsin-based Clear Focus Media, LLC.

This free program is presented live at 2pm Saturday, August 10th at the Woodson History Center. No RSVP required. The History Speaks lecture series is presented in conjunction with the Marathon County Public Library and is sponsored by Janke Book Store.
