Subject: VIETNAM VETERAN DOCUMENTARY "11 BRAVO VIETNAM - A SOLDIERS STORY"

my name is vincent gabriel - i served with c company 2/18 big red one during the 1968 tet offensive - i am living in maine working as a pro rock and blues musician/studio owner----over the past seven years i've released a cd of songs ("11 bravo vietnam") based on my experiences in vietnam and had an interview titled "vietnam blues" pertaining to vietnam --- broadcast on the national public radio program "soundprint" -ultimately out of all this was born a documentary titled "11 bravo vietnam - a soldiers story" based on my experiences from the time i recieved my draft notice (new jersey) thru basic and infantry training - leaving my family and loved ones --going to nam and into combat and ultimately returning home
i've been traveling around the state of maine and bringing my presentation into high schools ---libraries --theatres and anywhere else i could find an audience - although the idea was to tell my story - i've come to realize that alot of my fellow vets all went thru similiar experiences-- so the documentary is'nt so much about me ---although i'm the subject of it. the documentary is about all veterans --- it's a soldiers story---i'm presenting this as a story about the soldier'''---when i returned from vietnam and for many years the nagging question that haunted me was "why did i make it back home" "what's the reason i'm here and so many aren't -what's my purpose ---and now finally after all these years and after creating this documentary i realized why i made it back---and that was to take this presentation i created and try and in some small way tell the story as to what we as veterans had gone thru - i'm not trying to be a spokesman for all veterans - i'm just trying to tell a story - for the longest time i've been trying to figure out a way to share this video with my fellow veterans all over the united states --well i believe i've found a way -- i've put together a website at:
www.myspace.com/blindalbert

on this site you will find some of my songs -which you can download for free - but most important is you'll find my complete 55 min vietnam documentary which you will be able to play in it's entirety - let me stress
that there is nothing on this site for sale ''''

i would like to hear from any vets who have the chance to view the documentary - you can email me at
blind_albert@yahoo.com

peace and welcome home
vincent a. gabriel - vietnam -1968
