Indigo films is looking for veterans to have on their show shown on the
history channel.Nam magazine has been asked to help in their search for
those that might meet what they are looking for.here is the criteria
for those they are looking for.
The History Channel and Indigo Films seek MILITARY REUNION STORIES OF A
SPECIFIC NATURE for possible inclusion in a documentary scheduled to
air on
The History Channel later this year.
April 2003
· Trying to locate: Veterans desiring reunions with long-lost comrades
· Branch of Service: Any
· Unit was: Any
· Where served: Vietnam, Persian Gulf or other American conflict in
past 30
years - Bay of Pigs, Somalia, El Salvador, Panama, Sudan, Afghanistan,
etc
· When served:
... Indigo Films is a television production company based in the San
Francisco Bay Area. We are currently researching military reunion
stories
for two documentaries in production for The History Channel scheduled
to air
later this year.
We are profiling individual veterans who desire a reunion with a
"lost/missing" comrade(s) from combat, but have yet to succeed in
finding
the person(s) with whom they want to reunite. The premise of the
program is
to assist the veterans we profile in searching for their comrade(s), to
hopefully find the person(s) and schedule a meeting, and then document
the
reunion on camera. The History Channel has Private Investigators on
staff to
assist in the search for these missing comrades.
To give you some background on our documentary premise, following are a
few
details about the types of stories we're seeking:
· Veterans of military action from the Laos and Vietnam time period to
present
· Veterans seeking to reunite for a SPECIFIC REASON w/ a comrade(s) who
played a significant role with them in combat, but with whom they have
lost
touch. The reason to reunite must be a compelling or unusual one (i.e.,
more
than solely to renew a friendship or introduce families to each other),
and
based on a specific incident or experience.
· The reunion cannot have occurred already ... it must be a desired
contact
that has not been found yet.
A FEW EXAMPLES of the kinds of stories desired by The History Channel:
· veteran filing a VA claim or applying for a Medal of Honor who needs
verification of a combat or war-related incident from eye-witnesses;
· a veteran dealing w/ Post-Traumatic Stress syndrome who seeks closure
over
a battle or war-related incident;
· a veteran in possession of a long-lost item (preferably related to
combat
incident) that belongs to a comrade & wants to return it to its owner
...

If your search (or those of other veterans you may know) happens to fit
the
premise of our documentary, I would appreciate the opportunity to speak
with you.
If you or anyone you knows fits this let me know asap.
