Do you have a veteran in your life?
Every year, I observe the poorly attended Veteran's Day events in my own community, and I think, "Can't we do a better job of showing our
appreciation to these men and women?"
Can't we at least show up?
If nothing else, I think that we all need to take responsibility for
enabling the veterans in our lives to share their stories — if they're
ready and willing.
The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center "collects,
preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war."
If you're interested in preserving your veteran's story, the
organization's website is a great resource. The site provides all the
information you need to get started, including interview tips and sample questions.
