Bookmarked to listen to later. listened to the first few minutes and it sounds great. I did my Eagle Scout Project to honor the Veterans at my church. It ended up being more or less a book with a 1 page general biography of each veteran (unit, rank, commendations, notable events etc). I really wanted to do some more in depth personal interviews and recorded narratives with each veteran but they did not really care to talk much about it. The ones that did, was off the record. I had quite a few wonderful conversations that I wish I could have captured doing it. The sad thing is most of those guys are not around any more.
- dba7dba 12y agoGlad to see someone who is interested in history and got to do meaningful project related to history. Another repository of oral history that may be worth checking out is http://www.goforbroke.org/oral_histories/oral_histories_video.asp http://www.goforbroke.org/oral_histories/oral_histories_vide... Unfortunately the videos are now offline but you can still access some if you contact them. There were some wonderful interviews years ago that I was able to view.
