Stonewall Message from David Bermudez on Gay Pride Weekend 2009
To Williamson Henderson, Founder & Director,
STONEWALL Veterans' Association
Happy Anniversary to all of my STONEWALL Brothers & Sisters,
June 27,1969, seems like yesterday. The blue 1969 Stonewall Cadillac
convertible looks the same. Yet, it has been forty years since the loss
of Judy Garland and, now, exactly forty years later, the loss of another
Gay favorite icon Michael Jackson! I remember well that night when the
police raided the Stonewall. We all have our personal stories of what
happened. One thing for sure,the world has never been the same since.
Over the years, we may have lost touch with each other, but the spirit of
STONEWALL will never fade. We as veterans must continue to tell our
story,the true story of STONEWALL. Too often we hear stories or accounts
of that historical night from people who think they know. But you had to be
there as we were to really know what happened. So it's our job to keep the
S.V.A. and Stonewall spirit alive. Keep the fight alive for the next generation.
On this 40th anniversary, we join each other in pride and in remembrance of
our friends who are not here. I and my spouse Bob look forward to seeing
all of you in Manhattan this Saturday at the SVA Stonewall reunion of vets.
Happy and Gay 40th Anniversary!
David V. Bermudez
A proud STONEWALL Veteran
