Memorial Day Musings

World War II veterans are dying at an alarming rate. Do you have a vet in your family? Preserve his or her story on video before it's too late.

I've read that we're losing between 1,000 to 2,000 World War II vets every day. I'm sure Korean War vets aren't too far behind. I think it's a tragedy that so many of them pass on without leaving a record of their experiences - in war and in peace, for their family archives.

The sacrifices made by our veterans are tremendous. Their stories need to be preserved so their families can truly understand and appreciate what their relatives did in defense of freedom.

If you have a vet in your family, I urge you to make a Memorial Day resolution: Don't let another Memorial Day pass without capturing your veteran's life story on video.
