Impact

The Minnesota Military Museum, after seeing the documentary, asked to use it in their Vietnam 50th event at the Mall of America in June 2024. We agreed and this has led to the MN Military Museum asking to use Gary’s documentary at the museum and to contract with Gary to utilize his one-of-a-kind photos of the war within their museum, assuring Gary’s story and those he captured with his camera, will never be lost.
