"After wars' end, soldiers once again become civilians and return to their families to try to pick up where they left off. It is this process of readjustment that has more often than not been ignored by society."
– Major Robert H. Stretch, Ph.D

Give Em Hell Harry a Success!
Click the play button to see the video.
What a fantastic night we had last night (01-15-10) as we recognized veterans – especially those from the WWII, Korean and Vietnam war eras. We gave away 100 tickets to veterans in the East Valley and many others responded to newspaper pieces to provide our show "Give Em Hell Harry" with a full house. That's right, we sold out. In fact, some of us watched the performance standing up! Special thanks to Event Chair Jennifer Mills and to Board member and actor Gary Sievers. Thanks also to all the Board members who helped us spread the word and who helped us represent MACV Foundation at the event.
