Keith Famie, producer of Detroit: Our Greatest Generation, a documentary of the World War II veterans, is focusing on Vietnam veterans.  His current project is a historic documentary Our Vietnam Generation.

The next ten months of production for Our Vietnam Generation, Famie's eighth human interest documentary, will involve countless personal interviews and events, such as the flight of two Huey Choppers from the group Huey 369 over the Detroit River, which will serve as the dramatic opening sequence of the film. Hundreds of Vietnam veterans will be present for the event and photographed together for a commemorative piece acknowledging their services.

All will culminate in a special media celebration premiere for the Vietnam veterans in December, followed by the television premiere on WDIV-TV in Detroit.

The leading title sponsor for last year's successful documentary, Detroit: Our Greatest Generation about World War II veterans, American House founder Bob Gillette, has committed to support Our Vietnam Generation as one of the title presenting sponsors.

"It was a different kind of battle these people were fighting," said Gillette. "The people fighting in Vietnam were not given the 'hero's welcome' when they returned home like our World War II veterans. This film is our opportunity to do now what we should have done then."

Also supporting the film so far are Keith King, National Public Affairs Chair of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Terry Desmond of A.J. Desmond Funeral Homes, Joe Vicari of Andiamo Restaurant Group Inc., DS Properties, Lakeshore Engineering Services, WDIV-TV, News/Talk WJR 760 and HOUR Magazine.

Please consider supporting this project.  The support that you and your friends give will assist in a symbolic Welcome Home for the Vietnam veterans.
