American Legion Magazine reps to attend VBOB reunion

Representatives of American Legion Magazine will be accompanying Battle of the Bulge veterans during their reunion in Columbia SC for a story for the magazine and website.

Henry Howard, the deputy director of the Legion’s Media and Communication Division, will conduct the interviews. Brett Flashnick, a Columbia, SC area photographer and videographer, will be handling the photo and video duties.

Howard and Flashnick are willing to work around the reunion schedule. They will be available Saturday and Sunday morning, and other times convenient to the veterans. Battle of the Bulge veterans are welcome to contact Howard in advance to set up a time, or meet up at the hotel. Howard can be reached at 317-630-1289 or hhoward@legion.org.

The American Legion, which is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, is dedicated to honoring America’s past and present war heroes by sharing their stories in print and online. In the past, Howard has interviewed and written about the Doolittle Raiders, Medal of Honor recipients and survivors of the USS Indianapolis.
