Remembrance Stories -

The Greatest Generations Foundation Remembrances Stories program is to record
and produce programming based on the veterans accounts of their war experiences.
These interviews go beyond the usual dates and places treatment of history.
They offer a unique, personal view of all facets of war experience, often
with details that will fascinate even serious students of history.
In many cases, the veterans interviewed by the foundation have not related their
experiences publicly before, sometimes, not even to their own families. The mission
is not just to document memories, but the path they have taken to reconnect memories
in the present day context. You will find decorated heroes and combat veterans,
the heroes of the home front and those who trained men for action. Their stories
detail the brutality of the war experience, as well as the camaraderie and even
humor that accompanied their service. It is the history not covered in the textbooks...the
true experiences of war and the men and women who've experienced war.
