Midwest Tour Day Three: Milwaukee

We had a great day today at American Legion Post 416 in Greendale, Wisconsin. Post Commander Tim Baranzyk took great care of us, and we had some great interviews with Chosin veterans from the Army and the Marine Corps. One particular veteran, Grant McMillin, fought with the 31st RCT on the East side of Chosin Reservoir and survived 32 months as a prisoner of war in a Chinese camp. His story is truly inspirational and we were honored to sit and talk with him today.

We also had press on-set today. Tom Held, a writer for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, sat in on a few interviews and interviewed Brian and I on the project. He said that the article will most likely be published in the next few days, so stay posted for the link.

We finished up in Milwaukee around 6 p.m. and then fought our way through traffic to reach Minneapolis. We finally found a hotel that wasn't booked just around midnight. A little more work to do before we hit the rack, and then it's a big day tomorrow- nine interviews with the gentlemen of the Upper Midwest Chapter of The Chosin Few.

Semper Fi,

Anton
