The 27th National Veterans Wheelchair Games
Where YOU can make history – AGAIN – in 2007!
During the 27th National Veterans Wheelchair Games in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Library of Congress invite you to be part of an important national effort – The Veterans History Project (VHP).
This project is meant to honor you, our nation’s veterans, by creating a lasting legacy of your military experience. Regardless of your branch or period of service, age, military career or experience, we need your story. Share it with us, and help make history come alive!
Your 45-minute interview will be recorded on a DVD. One copy will be given to the Library of Congress, and another copy will be given to you. You and your story will then become part of our Nation’s official historical records. In appreciation, you will also receive a VHP tote bag and a one of a kind VHP Challenge coin.
What:
YOUR STORY … told by YOU!
When:
YOUR VHP INTERVIEW WILL BE SCHEDULED AT YOUR CONVENIENCE DURING THE 27th NATIONAL VETERANS WHEELCHAIR GAMES. Make an interview appointment at the VHP Registration table on Tuesday, June 19. VHP interviews will be conducted Wednesday, June 20, through Friday, June 22, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.; and on Saturday, June 23, between the hours of 8:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Where:
Room 203 D in the Midwest Airlines Convention Center (not far from the air guns event). LOOK FOR OUR VHP SIGNAGE while at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
Why:
BECAUSE ONLY YOU CAN TELL YOUR STORY – your own way (and it’s a story worth preserving and sharing with future generations)!
