Texas

What a crazy couple of weeks. The Midwest trip was an absolute success and we had the honor of meeting over fifty Chosin veterans from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis/ St Paul. Our battle rhythm for the trip was grueling-- we were up by 0600, filming until 1900, and then driving for five to seven hours to our next location. We were basically running non-stop on about 3 hours of sleep a night. Somehow, in the middle of all of this, we managed to get our package together for NY Independent Film Week, which was due during our travels. We had a few good articles written about us on the trip, including this one from Chicago's biggest paper, the Chicago Tribune: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-forgotten-heroes-07-aug07.0.4014073.story

After getting back, Brian and I dove right into preparations for our Texas trip, and we just landed in San Antonio today. We've got a full schedule planned, and we will be meeting with members of the San Antonio, North Texas, and Texas Gulf Coast Chapters of The Chosin Few.

Semper Fi,
