We Invite You To Be In A Video!

Are you a Vietnam-era veteran? If so, we're looking for photos of you during your service to be used to produce a 2:50 video using the song WARSPEAK as the musical bed. Visuals would be comprised exclusively of photos submitted by Vietnam vets (and their family members). Photos would be matched, wherever possible, to the song’s lyrics.

If you have photos of yourself or your loved ones, we'd love to include your images in the video.

To have your images included:

1. Download the release form here. Fill in the appropriate contact information. Only those images with proper release forms will be eligible for inclusion in the video.
   
   
2. Digitize your photos. We'd like JPEGs at 300 dpi resolution if possible.
   
   If you do not already have your images in digital format, you can have them digitized at Kinkos, Walmart, CVS, or almost anywhere that offers photo processing. Call around your local area to find the source that works best for you.
   
3. Send the digital images, along with the completed release form to webmaster@vva.org

That's it! We will try to accomodate requests to pair photos with particular lyrics so make sure you include the request on the release form.

WARSPEAK LYRICS

Bloused trousers, bush hat, cammies neatly pressed
Polished boots, rifle cleaned, lifers ain't impressed
Poker game, stand my watch, come on cut me slack
Mail call, chow call, time to hit the sack
Road-side Coke stand, barber shop, haircut, shave, black market pot
See a flick, chug a beer, freedom bird, check outta here!

Saddle up, lock and load
Selector switch on rock and roll
Advance on line, recon by fire
Grenades in cans with fishing wire
Blooper, frag, M-16, Spooky, Huey, and fixed wing
05, 55, zone and shift, shell mix, fuse mix, make it quick

Beaucoup, titi, lai dai, duma me
Chow ong, Chow ba, Chow co, come with me
Long time, short time, souvenir me cigarette
Boom boom boom Mamasan, cackadau Nam Viet
Hue, Da Nang, DMZ, Central Highlands to the sea
Chew hoi, di di mau, man, I think we're dinky dau

Got your CIA, your MAC-V, your XO, CO, MPC
FPO, ASAP, I ain't no FNG
DEROS, CONUS, PFC
ARVN, VC, NVA, LBJ and JFK
Victor Charlie, SOP, GI, DI, USMC
