Don't Mean Nothin'

A passion project created by Kyle Hunter and Elijah FlemingDon't Mean Nothin' exists to immortalize the stories of our nation's veterans. The platform explores their entire life story with an unmatched level of production quality.In July of 1967, Kyle's uncle Myron Beach was killed in action on Hill 830 in Vietnam. He was fighting with the 173rd Airborne on his 3rd deployment. Myron saw combat in with the Green Berets in 1963 and 1965. He knew how valuable his experience in country would be to fresh recruits, and opted to deploy with the 173rd instead of with a special forces unit in 1967. While moving through heavy vegetation on in the central highlands, Myron's unit was ambushed by a dug in and well prepared North Vietnamese company. He was shot in the leg during the initial contact, severing his femoral artery. The concentrated enemy machine gun fire was coming from well-camouflaged NVA bunkers less than 30 meters away. The men had no way to get to Myron to apply a tourniquet. He would eventually bleed to death.Throughout Kyle's childhood, he heard stories about his uncle Myron. His dad talked about the kind of man he was, the presence he had, and where he served. Born in 1992, Kyle never got a chance to meet his uncle Myron, but years of interest in military history and storytelling piqued his interest. He found the virtual Vietnam War Memorial Wall and searched for information. Under the obituary write up, there were comments from several men that fought alongside Myron. Kyle took down their names and searched the White Pages, calling anyone he could find that matched the names and age ranges of the men commenting. After reaching some of them, Kyle quickly realized that these stories were far bigger than just learning about one man. He contacted his good friend and talented videographer Elijah Fleming to discuss the possibility of filming an interview. Elijah, sharing a similar passion for war history and storytelling, emphatically jumped on board with creating the project. The pair now travel around the country interviewing veterans and occasional civilians about their experiences. Through Elijah's in-depth knowledge of film, Kyle's love for history, and both of their passion for giving back to veterans, Don't Mean Nothin' has produced high quality interviews that are sure to pull at your heart strings.If you are a combat veteran, or anyone that has a story to tell to the world, we want to hear from you.
