Honoring Military Veterans

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you to a friend’s website.
I decided to do this after the participation in the "Warbird Buff" thread.
In the thread I posted a link to a video a friend produced about a flight in a T-6.
He operates a non profit website that shows his video interviews with veterans.
If you like warbirds, you will enjoy the stories of the men that flew these birds.
There interviews with veterans from all branches of service and from WWII through today’s vets that are returning today from Iraq and Afghanistan
Here is a link to his website:

Thanks
Nick V.

I always enjoy hearing from vets thank you.

Great project. Thanks for sharing. I always find a vets reluctance to talk about it refreshing. In 5 years and I will be a vet and reluctant to talk about it.

Please don't be reluctant to talk. I'm about to lose my Father and I still don't know what he went through in Viet Nam. I have bit's and pieces, that's all, not the full story. I may never know. Believe me I have asked.

Thanks Nick. Right now I'm editing the interview of B-17 pilot Basil Hackleman. He flew several missions over Berlin

Probably because sometimes you don't want those images to plague the minds of those you love. Listen to what he'll share, and know he conceals some of it because he cares.

I've learned to listen when they do talk, and when they don't just let it go. There's some stuff they just don't want to say. My dad always talked to us about a lot of it, but not much to anyone else. But I know there's tons more he doesn't talk about, even to us. Considering what I've heard... I can't even imagine... Took him 40 years to start going to the VA and talking to other vets. It's helped.
