Hi Gary- Thanks for responding to my e-mail. I have provided you with a link to the Library of Congress website that can provide you more information on the project. My son completed this in 5th grade, and we found it very rewarding. Basically, I wanted to know if any veteran from WWII, Korea, Vietnam or Afghanistan and Iraq would like to participate. If any of the veterans would be willing to come to the school we could set them up in a conference room to conduct the interviews. I am still trying to iron-out the details, and I have never completed this with an entire class of students. Students record the veterans with an audio or video format. There is basic information collected and an interview kit is provided by the Library of Congress. All information is officially recorded for future generations. I can come speak to any veterans ahead of time and provide them with brochures and more information. I am looking at setting up interviews on the following dates: May 7th, May 9th, May 14th and May 16th. The time frame is 12:15-2:00pm

or I could set up individual times if necessary.

2nd Chance for Academy Day

Good afternoon All!

 

Just wanted to let you know we are having our Hillsborough County Academy Day this Saturday, April 28 at the Brandon Regional Service Center if you would like to attend.  We have a wonderful schedule of speakers confirmed including a current Cadet 1/C from West Point, Caitlin Adamowicz, and a Midshipman 1/C from Navy, Brant Wayson.  

 

The last event in Winter Haven was very successful with several of the Academy Representatives complimenting us on the quality of students present.  We had almost 100 people in attendance averaging a 1:2 student to parent ratio.  There was also a healthy number of younger students present!  Looks like we will have a good crop of applicants this year!

 Event details (flyer attached)

Date:  April 28

Time: 10:30AM

Location:  Brandon Regional Service Center (311 Pauls Drive, Brandon, FL)

 

Hope you all are well!
