The veterans included in the documentary are Dorothy Moseley Bacon, Watson Petty, James Pressley, Edward Laporta, Cleveland Thrower, Peter Burnette, Virgil Sexton, Arthur Crowe, Jr., Eugene Williams, and William E Price. 

Thank you, Pat Burns for screening your documentary and excellent discussion afterwards.
