Larry Plager of Medical Lake collected hundreds of stories about war; now this Vietnam vet is turning the page

The Telling War project – “War Cannot Be Heard Unless It is Told” – was an effort to help veterans find ways to make sense of their own experiences through writing, songs and art. It was funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and run by Silvestri and Rebekah Wilkins-Pepiton, an artist and arts commissioner for the city of Spokane.
