Scott's View: Veterans Advantage Members Get Access to Movie Reviews from Mayor Ed Koch

February 5, 2011

Scott Higgins, WeSalute Co-founder & Co-CEO

Just in time for Oscar season, I'm pleased to announce that we have a great addition to the Veterans Advantage Benefits Program: Fellow military veteran, and former New York City Mayor, Ed Koch is now the movie critic for Veterans Advantage. A self-confessed movie fanatic, His Honor will be offering his thoughts and reviews on new flicks on a weekly basis. Members can refer to the latest in Members Only.

I've known the Mayor for a long time, ever since he tapped me to co-chair the New York City Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission in the 1980s, but I can also tell you he has a marvelous eye for movies, and for getting it right on the reviews. Be sure to read the Mayor's reviews!

And for you movie fans, a reminder to mark your calendars for February 27 when the 83rd Annual Academy Awards will be broadcast.

And speaking of movies, visit our entertainment benefits section, and stock up on deeply discounted movie tickets – another special for your Veterans Advantage membership.
