Thinking about you!

Reflections from Steve White, CoFounder of the VBN 

   Second in a series.

This Veterans Day will be different than any of the previous ones and so will the Parade in NYC.

I moved from a small town on eastern Long Island (Suffolk County) to SW Florida a little over a year ago. Although I am thoroughly enjoying it down here but I really miss some of my buddies and one group in particular.

Even though I lived out on the Island I spent a great deal of time working in NYC and I was proud to be part of what started as the Vietnam Vets Wall Street Holiday lunch.

The Veteran Connection on Display

In my Veterans Day #2 blog I talked about missing my Vietnam Vet buddies and our quarterly lunches in NYC due to my I move to Florida. Since I wrote that I was contacted by one of those friends, Dennis Starr, President of Razamataz Events and long-time member of the VBN. He mentioned a project he was working on with another veteran buddy, Stu Richel.

Stu served in Vietnam in 1969 as a combat photographer with the First Infantry Division or Big Red One as we called them due to their patch. A few years ago Stu wrote and produced his own one man show about Vietnam that played off Broadway.

As things sometime evolve, Stu was thinking about creating a film based on his play, mentioned it to Dennis, who just happened to know a film maker and the next thing I know is that it has been produced they sent me a trailer.

They are now shopping for buyers so if any of you have any good connections let me know. Steve White
