"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.

John Gebhardt's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute her and shot her in the head, however she survived the brutal attack. The little girl was cared for at the hospital were John is stationed. While the little girl received the best care possible she continued to cry and moan which compromised the healing process. The nurses said John was the only one that could keep her comfortable and calm, so John spent several nights holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is recovering very well from her near fatal wound and in time will recover form the ordeal. John Gebhardt is an example of one of Americans Shinning Stars of War, and another of our heroes of peace.
