Stories of Service website
I just came across the website for a project called "Stories of Service". According to the site, the project invites youth participants throughout the United States to work with veterans and other seniors in their communities with the support of adult mentors. They produce short video presentations that are available for viewing on the site. The wars include WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq/Afghanistan. Some of the stories featured include those of Nisei soldiers from the 442nd talking about the rescue of the Lost Battalion and other European battles. The quality of the sound isn't the greatest, but the stories are interesting. The pieces themselves seem to be basically the veteran's voice as they talk about their wartime experiences with some background music as photos, video footage, and other visuals display to illustrate the story. If you'd like to check it out, here's the website: |
