The Long Island Museum

Join us for a special screening of Walk With Frank (2021), followed by a Q&amp;A with Frank Romeo, who will share his personal journey and decades of advocacy on behalf of veterans and those living with PTSD.
In addition to the discussion, Frank will exhibit artwork created by veterans living with PTSD, offering a powerful perspective on healing through creative expression.
About Frank Romeo After graduating from Bay Shore High School in 1967, Frank enlisted in the U.S. Army and served with the 199th Infantry Brigade in Vietnam, a rapid-response unit that carried out intense ground combat missions, often deploying directly into battle by helicopter. During a mission in Cambodia, Frank was seriously wounded in an ambush and spent more than a year recovering in military hospitals. When he returned home to Long Island, he struggled for years with what would later be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
For more than 30 years, Frank has been a passionate advocate and educator, raising awareness about PTSD, homelessness, and substance use among veterans. His remarkable story of resilience, recovery, and service is told in the acclaimed documentary Walk With Frank (2021).

Frank’s story is also featured in The Long Island Museum’s Long Island in the ’70s exhibition, on view through October 18, 2026.
