I just joined VBOB as an Associate Member as I conduct oral history interview of Veterans. In fact, your inclusion of my information in the May 15 Bugle resulted in several telephone calls from Veterans to conduct interviews.
This is a non-profit enterprise and passion for me as I share and preserve the video oral history interviews with the US Library of Congress, National World War II Museum and the University of Florida Samuel Proctor History Project. I have been to Normandy three times and to Bastogne once and most of the other places in between.
I would like to work directly with VBOB and its local Chapters to interview as many Veterans as humanly possible? These interviews could be added to your membership video archive as well.
Attached is the project brochure that I hand to Veterans that I meet.
