"Love Separated in Life...Love Reunited in Honor" is a 14 minute documentary that speaks of love in the midst of war and affirms the U.S. military in its Civil Rights role of integration.  Fifty years after the Vietnam death of Sp5 Wyley Wright Jr. as an honor guard for Secretary of Defense McNamara, a White Houston, Texas teenager, who was a fellow "Knight of the Air" with Wright and the wife of fallen pilot 1st Lieutenant Kenneth A. Shannon, joined the Wrights at Arlington National Cemetery ceremony honoring Wright who had been in a segregated cemetery in the South. A Year later the Wright sisters traveled to Vietnam in advance of the California State East Bay International MBA Program and found the family of the photographer that had created the last anniversary gifts Wright had given to his cherished "Ouida." 

"Love Separated in Life...Love Reunited in Honor" inspires families to find history among their own family & friends albums and mementos.
