ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – Heading into Veteran's Day 18 News will be highlighting the stories of our local veterans and their contributions to our country. We spoke with Joe Kopacz, a veteran and past president at the Vietnam Veterans Museum about his experience during the Vietnam War. Kopacz, originally from Buffalo, New York fought in the Vietnam War from 1960-1970 after making a life-changing decision that would impact his relationship with his fiancé. However, the love they shared is what kept him going.
