from Larry Winters, the morning after the February 27 performance of his play, "Nothing Means Nothing"

Hello folks,

Last night at Unison was a great performance, Tom Nolan, Mike Harelick and Evan Davis reached within and found the souls of their charters allowing them to gather in our audiences hearts. The play "Nothing Means Nothing" stimulated great conversation when it was over, many peopled shared emotional moments of their lives with me and the actors. It was inspiring to see folks getting the message of how important their public presence is to the healing of veterans. Without public recognition and honor veterans' sacrifices can and do turn into deep personal pain. On the other hand if the public remains unaware of their soldiers' sacrifices and continue to reside in a state of ignorance and denial of what War does to both soldiers and society, no chance of ending War can happen. We as a society are becoming rapidly more aware of what things cost because of the failing economy. We need to as aware of the cost in human lives we are spending to maintain such wealth.

Thank you for your support in this effort and if you have not seen the play, we are performing it again this evening February 28 at Unison Learning Center in New Paltz, NY, and again at Four Winds Hospital in Katonah, NY on March 7 at 8:00 PM....

Narrator: Some of us might remember the saying that came back with our soldiers from the Vietnam War. "It don't mean nothing." Some vets say this was their way of spitting in death's face. Death spit back at some 58,000 of them and they never returned home. Today spittle still drips from Satan's chin as we pass the number 100,000 Vietnam vets who have committed suicide. The war saying seems to mean life don't mean nothing. Maybe if soldier's lives were as valuable as the lives of us who are sending them, we'd be more careful where we told them to go and more caring when they came home.

Let me show you a story about a couple Vietnam vets who were never able to find the switch to turn off their war.
