Filmmaker looking for war veteran stories

Independent filmmaker, Larry Cappetto, of Grand Junction, Colorado, has made it his mission to document and record stories of Vietnam, Korean and World War II veterans. He is coming to the Ft. Lauderdale area February 21st  and 22nd, and is looking for veterans to tell their stories.  The event is being sponsored and hosted by T.M. Ralph  Funeral Homes.

Cappetto is working on his fifth and sixth film documentaries in the series, "Lest They Be Forgotten."  The nationally recognized film series has recently received the prestigious George Washington Honor Medal given by the Freedom's Foundation.

Cappetto is looking for war veterans who fought in Vietnam; Vietnam Veterans who were involved with helicopter warfare, pilots, crew chiefs, door gunners, grunts (infantrymen), or anyone else who supported the air mobile divisions; Veterans who fought at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea; Korean War veterans who fought at Pork Chop Hill; World War II veterans who fought at the battle of Iwo Jima; World War II nurses; World War II veterans of Omaha, Utah Beach, D-Day, June 6, 1944, The Battle of the Bulge; World War II chaplains, Navy and Airmen.

“Freedom is not free,  as  funeral directors, we have the honor of commerating the lives of those who have sacrificed for us, states Thomas M. Ralph .  Mr. Cappetto’s work captures the gift given by these veterans in their own words, . . . before  they cannot  tell their own story. It is so important that this is preserved for future generations. The T.M. Ralph family and staff is proud to participate and host this worthwhile endeavor.”
