Editor’s Note:
The following dance review – chronicling a series of historic events during the Vietnam War – appeared recently in the Washington Post, and included an interview with Veterans Advantage founder Scott Higgins, who continues the company’s sponsorship of the performance and the distribution of free tickets to Veterans Advantage “VetRewards” Card members. This review appeared ahead of the performance in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, and after Veterans Advantage’s sponsorship of the event in New York City during the summer.
In the bright daylight of Oct. 17, 1967, a U.S. infantry battalion known as the Black Lions marched into an ambush in the Vietnamese jungle that left 61 of its members dead. Just 20 miles away, a young soldier named Scott Higgins, who’d arrived in country a few days before, was celebrating his 22nd birthday.

Pro golfer Paula Creamer has made pink her signature color like Tiger Woods has done with the color red in the men's game. But the comparisons end there. She is the daughter of a Navy flying vet, and has put an infectiously joyous demeanor on the fiercely competitive game of golf.

 Bill Nelson,Chairman and CEO of HBO |
“It is our obligation to help those who have put themselves in harm’s way,” says Bill Nelson, Chairman and CEO of HBO, in an exclusive interview with Veterans Advantage.
A Vietnam Combat Veteran, Nelson is committed to honoring military service. His dedication can be seen through both his personal practices and HBO’s ongoing effort to educate viewers on the service and sacrifice millions of young Americans have made and continue to make for our country.
Remembering the Gentle Heroes
Raised in New York City, Nelson spent his childhood playing stickball with pals and idolizing the Yankee greats of the 1950s. It was a good place to grow up. He and his friends abruptly entered adulthood when they landed in a world 10,000 miles away: the jungles of Vietnam.
