Let's Talk with Diane Richard (Ron Clasky)
Ron Clasky was a multiple award winning film editor, in Chicago, of documentary films, commercials, television shows, training corporate and experimental films. In 1957, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and was assigned to the Army Pictorial Center, the old Paramount Studios, in Astoria, New York as a film editor.
The studio contained within its archives captured enemy footage of German and Japanese cameramen from the Second World War. Clasky's editing assignments gave him access to any of the stock footage in the vaults.He used to spend hours watching all the captured films of the Nazi regime whose cameramen meticulously photographed and recorded every detail of their hideous conquest and the horrible injustices Germany's concentration camps. Clasky cringed and shook his hands violently as he told me about what he had seen. Clasky is himself Jewish and having watched these films sickened him and filled his very soul with rage.
Let's Talk with Diane Richard (Loosing their personal battles to invisible wounds of war)
In this streaming session, Diane speaks with a panel of psychological and behavioral health and suicide prevention outreach experts to help us understand mentally, emotionally and statistically why suicide is the choice for so many of our veterans. We also present a Public Service Announcement produced for Mr. and Mrs. Russel Crupe which shares the story of the loss of their son, SGT, Russel Lee Crupe, Jr. to the hands of suicide. Mr. and Mrs. Crupe have become strong advocates in support of finding a way to prevent veteran suicides.

Let's Talk with Diane Richard (Sharing & Caring)
For more than 13 years, Bob Abbott had served as President of SHARING AND CARING INC. In the summer of 2019, we spent 4 days aboard Pittsburgh's Gateway Clipper Fleet as Bob and SHARING AND CARING INC. hosted more than 200 veterans per day. We were treated to dinner, dancing and some of Pittsburgh's most spectacular riverfront views. Unfortunately, Bob Abbott passed away on July 15, 2020 after reaching the age of 90 years old. He will be sorely. We salute Bob Abbott and SHARING AND CARING INC. for providing vital services to our Nations veterans for more than 34 years.

More than 8,000 Coast Guardsmen served in Vietnam. Wartime statistics show that Coast Guard cutters boarded a quarter of a million junkets and sampans and participated in 6,000 naval gunfire support missions causing extensive damage to the enemy. We salute those brave men who served in Vietnam and offer our deepest thanks to those men and women of the Coast Guard who are on active and are defending our country as Coast Guard reservists.
