Collecting veterans stories

[Keith Webb]

Just had a call from Max Hedges who made an interesting and valid addition to the list.

Several years ago I recorded Max's dad Charlie telling of his service.

Having a veteran tell his story to someone outside the family can bring out amazing stories even they have not heard before. It can be a great benefit to the rest of the family as a record of an important part of their family history as well as being a good record of their grandparent or parent when they were still able to tell their stories.
It also instils a sense of pride in the family in the achievements.

Any other comments?
