Which vm file?

Nevertheless you can have in your velocity template for your article

#set($us = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalService"))

#set($userId = $getterUtil.getLong($request.get("theme-display").get("user-id")))
$htmlUtil.escape($us.getUserById($userId).getGreeting())

for liferay 6+

For previouse versions change first line to 

#set($us = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil"))


For this to work you heve to have 

journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=

in your portal-ext.properties file. To be more correct serviceLocator must not be stated in 

journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=

Default for this property is 

journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=serviceLocator
