In September of 2010, Carol Fowler 2011 Democratic Candidate for Middletown Township Committee, was interviewed by Jill Horner of Comcast Newsmakers on her work directing the Center for US War Veterans' Oral Histories, a partner of the Library of Congress' Veterans History Project, at the National Guard Militia Museum of NJ in Sea Girt.
At the time, over 400 veterans had been filmed on their time in service. The project began in June 2001.
Bare with the video, the content doesn't start until 24 seconds into the clip.

WOW. OMG, she is so terrible. She is really gaming the system.
The vicious mad dog of the Middletown republicans is out of her coup again.
Whatsamatter...no work this week for the tax board so now you're gonna haunt houses?
HOW ABOUT YOUR PAL SCHARFEY AND HIS DOUBLE DIPPIMG(and distortions) AND SAM THOMPSON and Rosemarie Peters (due a huge pension with early years served on the Middletown TC and now surrogate) and so many other republicans.
Get real you stupid ,mud slinging piece of crap.Get back in your majestic doghouse and stop your barking about a non issue!
PETTY PETTY PAIN IN THE A$$ !!
It appears Ms. Fowler is dedicated to the remembrance of history- something our local Republicans would prefer most people forget.
And how dare a woman who earns so little money have the audacity to run for public office in Middletown :)
Anon 6:49: Are you for real? Try going after the members of your own party who have sucked the system dry.
This is laughable.
If elected she's can't collect a pension due to it being a part time postion. Patrick Short was the one who got that changed.
It is a worthwhile venture that Ms. Fowler is engaged in with the war veterans.
And while perhaps it is good exposure for her to the ten or twelve people who will watch this on Comcast, this interview and her work is not at all relevant to the upcoming election, to which Ms. Fowler brings almost nothing.
So far all we have seen is her parroting the words of the DHB and making a feeble attempt at accusing the Mayor of somehow insulting the Township's volunteers.
She would do better to fill out an application for the open school board seat. That she could get without an election.
Legion isn't too concerned about the 10 or 12 people that get to the Township Meetings because our Republican committee members refuse to open the proceedings to television cameras. Are you concerned with that Legion, or are you by chance, another Republican hypocrite?
If Ms. Fowler brings nothing but honesty and integrity to the Township Committee, she will have contributed more than the entire lineup today.
She would do better to run for Board of Ed? Couldn't the same be said for Ms. Murray since she seems to have an interest in, ahem, creative writing?
I can understand why you don't want "outsiders" coming to play in "your" sandbox, but that will be the voters choice, not yours.
Legion,
Tell me what Ms. Murray brings to the table. Sure she was appointed as an alternate on the Zoning Board, but I haven't heard anything about her. She started Middletown mornings which of course had the backing of the Repubs. Other than that, she's had very little experience with the community.
I'm already questioning the lack of honesty regarding her writing hobby which she has yet to disclose.
It's easy to get "groomed" when you have the ruling political party behind you. She'll be another puppet for Peter Carton. More of the same BS.
The voters in this township can't be ignorant of what's being done to them by the integrity and ethically challenged current excuses for representation on the Middletown TC currently serving. Every time you get a tax bill you should be outraged and maybe that should be true of sewage bills also.
Vote as an informed taxpayer for a change and don't be gullible about these republicans who all have difficulty with being truthful and forthright.
They insult the intelligence of every voters in this township and their condescension is despicable !
And another question if I may....when was Brian Nelson elected to serve as a TC member?
Decorum demands an explanation of him front and center instead of at the professionals table.
Are the TC members so inept that he must hold their hands,whisper in their ears and reply for each of them? God help this community for the visible low caliber of individuals serving.
Mrs Fowler will bring decency, honesty and integrity.respect for others and a lifetime of public service to the task of committeewoman.
Those qualities are certainly lacking in much of what sits on that dais today in Middletown.
