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.
