Help capture and document your Veteran’s memories – they will come flooding back during the mission!
Ask your vet for permission to collect stories and memories as a service to:
- Help them remember the day
- Record their detailed memories to honor their service & sacrifices
-
Find and preserve “lost treasure”
Use a “Reporter’s Notepad”
- Capture the military “lingo”
- Keep a rolling log of all events
-
Update it on the spot at each stop
Should your Vet wish to share their stories with others:
Create a “Top Secret Mission Log”
- Record of the day created for the personal use of veteran and the veteran’s family—pictures, words, souvenirs, etc.
