May 10th: California, Day 5


We finished up our last day of filming in the Vista/ Oceanside area, and our departure was bittersweet. We are excited to move forward to the other veterans we will be meeting this month, but we had an amazing time throughout the weekend with Colonel White and the rest of the General Raymond Murray chapter. The good Colonel and his lovely wife Paulette went above and beyond by allowing us to set up shop in their house for the whole weekend in order to interview everyone that we had scheduled. They really went out of their way to make us feel like family. We couldn't possibly thank them enough.
The film was featured on the front page of the North County Times Sunday edition, and Colonel White was the star. There is also a short video on the page. You can read the article here:

We've got a long day tomorrow. We will be up bright and early to drive from Escondido to Orange for a 0800 crew call at American Legion Post 132. We don't have a place to sleep yet, but we will figure it out. Mission first.
