History takes hostages. It shapes our today. My passion is learning from and celebrating the past. I am a child of the Greatest Generation living in WWII in the Los Angeles area. I'm chronicling the challenges, inspirations, and gifts my generation has given our world. I'm doing this through a documentary of World War II families and their lives. Through my speaking engagements and the short-form documentary "Greatest Children," we will become aware and apply the insights to better our future.

A surprise package was delivered to me containing one of Betty White's book, it was inscribed as follows: Patricia - Congratulations on your first film, I am sure it will be a great success! It is very admirable that you are using your talents in such a selfless way. Betty White

Anyone contributing $25.00 or more will be in a drawing for a beautiful black and white photo (framed) of the Golden Gate Bridge. This last weekend Saturday May 12 - 14 San Franciscans celebrated the 75th anniversary of the building of perhaps the most beautiful bridge in the world. Many service men and women have told me that as they sailed into war under the bridge into the Pacific and WWII the last thing they saw was the Golden Gate Bridge. Also the first thing they saw that told them they were home coming back from the war.

The drawing will be available to $25 donors and above, the drawing will be held approximately 6 weeks from today. The framed photo is 11 X 16. The photo is signed.

The photographer is Rudy Gelenter , noted Bay Area photographer, who also films The Amazing Race, Dr. Phil segments, the Hoarders shows, and many TV show and commercials throughout the country. The photo here does not do it justice, the crisp black and white, the sun shining through the bridge is beautiful. The winner will receive it in person if they in the Bay Area, or shipped to their home or business. If you wish you may pay by check made to Patricia Weaver, my address is above, or use Paypal for your convenience.

If you wish a memorial statement with a picture that cost is $150, please call me with that information. Also you may remain anonymous if you wish.

Thank you very much. My film can change many lives and bring awareness to our NEW GREATEST GENERATION of veterans and their families.

We now have a new generation of veterans. I'm calling these new vets, The New Greatest Generation. They have been at war longer than in any of our wars. We cannot tolerate as a country the venom and hate that was directed toward our Vietnam Veterans. That was a horrible stain on our country. I gave three special events last year during Veterans Day week where I spoke about my involvement in WWII as a 5 year old tap dancer with a Big Band, Kay Kyser. We entertained at the VA Hospitals in Southern California.
