Looking for Vets

There is a court reporter & interview transcriber. She is working on an awesome project to interview / transcribe stories especially from WWI and WWII veterans to publish for the Library of Congress. They are happy to interview any veterans from foreign war, but she is focusing on WWI & WWII due to the fact that this generation’s age. I am helping her look for veterans to interview and students to do the interviewing. She suggests that the students be at least the age of Sophomores or older due to potential graphic content of the stories.

If you know of any veterans who would like to be interviewed or have contacts to schools/students/organizations who would be interested, please let me know & I’ll hook you up with her.

Caring for Military Families

How can both government and commercial agencies support and compliment one another to establish strong family support networks that provide access to information, services and support through unfailing delivery systems to ensure no family is forgotten?

Caring for Military Families is building an online destination through cooperation, communication, coordination and collaboration with government, commercial and nonprofit agencies to deliver a comprehensive set of readiness and support services to military families.

Military families don’t need Incremental band-aid type approaches; they need fresh thinking and people who care about them. We are far more than a web site. We are trying to fundamentally change the way military families are served by revolutionizing readiness.

Caring for Military Families is a resource military families can rely on. A place to learn about all of the aspects of military life; from trusted sources. A one stop destination to visit regularly and to stay up to date on what is available, learn, grow and share with
others.
