Veterans needed

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE- looking for Interview so you can be remembered...

Hello,

 

Would you like your war stories to be remembered? Well, my name is Leah Turner and I am in 8th Grade at Preston Junior High School in Fort Collins, Colorado. Every year, my teacher, Scott DeVries, assigns a project in memory of World War II, Vietnam, and Korean War. He has each of his students interview, whether it be through email, phone, whatever, and collect pictures of the person they are interviewing. If you would like to be interviewed and put up on our "Freedom Is Not Free" webpage made by my teacher, I would be more than happy to learn more about you and your past experiences and we would like to keep a record of every veteran we could possibly get. If you are willing to participate in this event, please email me back at this address (Luv2Ski2290@hotmail.com ). Thank you very much for you time and consideration and I feel very honored that you were there to fight for America. If you would like your story to be preserved forever, then keep it remembered by answering questions for a short interview. Pictures are also wanted!!!

 

Thanks again,

 

Leah Turner

Hi Leah,

Nice project. I'd love to help out. I'm not a WW2 veteran but maybe I can put you in touch with one. Oh, yeah. Here is one I have on my website. I can give you his phone number.

Sgt Sid Ayres

 

Do they have to be living or can we submit a dedication to them?

Leah, one suggestion about your school's site. You need to put a name with the photo so someone can come back and find it. One way is to make the name pop up when the cursor is moved over the photo.

 

 

Marion: Check out the story on their page by Donald Edward Lancaster. He was an Engineer of some unit in Italy but he never said what unit, except that he was assigned to the 15th Army Group. He tells his whole story including how he met and married his wife before returning to the States.

Go to Leah's link, then flip to next page. His photo is bottom row, 2nd from RIGHT.
