Breaking the Silence

The Chemeketa Veterans' Services department is proud to present "Breaking the Silence", a documentary featuring the stories of some of Oregon's LGBTQ service members and veterans. This groundbreaking film explores the lives of five Oregon veterans, who not only served their country honorably, but were forced to serve in silence and at great risk to themselves, their careers, and their families. Veterans, students, staff members, and community partners are welcome and encouraged to join us for the film's showing on Thursday, May 24, 2018 at Chemeketa Community College, Salem campus, 4000 Lancaster Drive NE, Salem, OR 97305. We will be conducting two showings at 2 pm and 4 pm. These showings will take place in building 3, room 116 (auditorium). Admission is free. There will also be food, snacks, and drinks available to all movie goers. Minors are welcome to attend accompanied by a parent or guardian. A trailer for the film can be found online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeBpkFepTnU . If you are an LGBTQ veteran in need of assistance or support, please contact LGBTQVets@odva.state.or.us.
