Attached is our flyer in two formats so that you can have what you need depending on how you disseminate information.

Hello, 

 

I am the President of the Making History Project (www.making-history-project.com), a non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the memories and stories of Veterans through oral history interviews. 

 

I am taking the project on the road in July/August on an American Heartland Tour (https://making-history-project.com/american-heartland-tour/) that will cover 15 States and 5,124 miles. The goal is to obtain additional oral history interviews as I travel through the small towns that make America great. The included States are Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. 

 

I am writing to find out if there is a way to get this message out to your local Chapters to see if there are Veterans interested in providing an oral history interview. Specifically, I will be in the area of Springfield around August 6th, give or take a few days.

 

Just so you know, the oral history interviews are recorded by video and will be archived with the Veterans History Project for the US Library of Congress; the University of Florida Samuel Proctor Oral History Project, and on our own project website. When the interview is concluded, the Veteran and his/her family are provided with an unedited copy of the interview that is recorded on a DVD so they have something immediately while the final video is being edited. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Be well,

 

Patrick Russell
