TVWorldwide.com, Inc., a fast-growing web-based global TV
network, has been selected by the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial
Fund to simulcast via satellite and the web, a live program
highlighting the Veterans Day commemoration of the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial’s 20th Anniversary in Washington, D.C. for
American civilian and military personnel stationed overseas
and media outlets worldwide. Outback Steakhouse, Base Technologies,
Inc., SOZA & Company, Ltd., and BAE STSTEMS are making
the simulcast available through their generous premium sponsorship.
More
than 20,000 Vietnam veterans, their families and the general
public are expected to attend the Annual Veterans Day Observance
at The Wall on Monday, November 11 at 1 p.m. The simulcast
begins at 12:30 PM (EST) with a pre-commemoration show offering
clips from pre-recorded events produced during the week, including
a special musical tribute on Wednesday, November 6, 2002 from
1:30-11:00 p.m. on the Reflecting Pool Steps at the Lincoln
Memorial featuring over 20 performers, including Paul Revere
and the Raiders. Commentary and interviews prior to the event
will also be offered including live on-line interactive chat
and e-mail with participants worldwide.
For just the third time since The Wall's dedication in 1982,
the more than 58,000 names of those men and women inscribed
on the black granite memorial will be read aloud in Washington,
D.C. November 7-10. Elements of the reading will also be included
during the simulcast.
People around the world can tune to www.vvmf.org
and www.tvworldwide.com
to view the live commemoration simulcast where satellite coordinates
will also be available for global media outlets in advance.
The commemoration event is co-hosted by the Memorial Fund
and the National Park Service. This year's speakers include
Vietnam veteran Senator John F. Kerry (D-MA) and Lt. General
Claudia Kennedy, USA (Ret.). Memorial Fund President Jan Scruggs
will serve as the event's Master of Ceremonies.
On March 26, 1982, 100 Vietnam veterans in unison turned the
earth on the National Mall breaking ground for the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The black granite Memorial,
inscribed with the names of those who were killed or remain
missing in action, was dedicated on November 13, 1982. The
Wall remains the most visited memorial in the nation's capital
with 4.4 million visitors each year.
“The TVWorldwide.com staff takes pride in producing this event
for Americans around the world,” commented Dave Gardy, Chairman
and CEO of TVWorldwide.com. “We are thankful that Outback
Steakhouse, Base Technologies SOZA and BAE SYSTEMS sponsored
this broadcast to bring the Vietnam Veteran Memorial 20th
Anniversary Commemoration from our nation’s capital to the
brave men and women deployed around the world protecting freedom
and democracy.“
